Matt DeWitte named VP, sales & marketing, Americas at Hurtigruten

Hurtigruten has named Matt DeWitte vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas, succeeding Carly Biggart, who left the company earlier this summer.

DeWitte is no stranger to the Hurtigruten organization.

He served as head of marketing for the Americas from 2022 until Hurtigruten and HX Expeditions separated in January 2025.

Following the split, he moved to HX, where he led marketing across the Americas, Australia and New Zealand.

“It feels like a homecoming and a very happy reunion,” wrote DeWitte on his LinkedIn account, noting that he is “thrilled” to return to Hurtigruten.

“My time at HX was an unbelievable journey and I will be excited to watch the momentum that was created as they continue to grow. Now, it's time for me to rejoin amazing teams across the U.S., Canada, and Europe to help guests enjoy the most iconic and awe-inspiring experiences around Norway and beyond.”
