NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE · MARCH 2025

Kirs Kiesarsky

Greetings from one of your Business Development Managers. My name is Kirs Kiesarsky and I will be your agency’s contact for all your sales and business development needs with Norwegian Cruise Line.

Born and raised in Maryland, my passion for cruising started at an early age. I immediately fell in love with cruising the moment I stepped on my first ship. Each time I am on one, it feels like home. Eventually, it was time to turn my passion into a career. I became a cruise consultant during my years in college, quickly moved into a senior-level consultant role, and eventually became a million-dollar producer.

After becoming a successful cruise consultant, I wanted to dedicate my time to educating agents on building their business as I did with my own. With more than 90 cruises under my belt and years of consulting travelers, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to you.

My goal as your Business Development Manager is to give you the tools to become successful—whether through co-op marketing funds, training, events, or tips from my own experience. I look forward to working with you all and supporting your business.
