CELEBRITY Cruises President & Chief Executive Officer Lisa Lutoff-Perlo will transition to Vice Chair External Affairs, with Laura Hodges Bethge named as her successor.
Having served in her role since 2014, Lutoff-Perlo will from May work closely with Royal Caribbean Group President & Chief Executive Jason Liberty.
“Lisa has been instrumental in transforming the Celebrity Cruises brand to what it is today,” Liberty said.
“From helping us introduce the revolutionary Edge Series of ships to advancing the role of women in maritime careers, Lisa has had an incredible career during her time leading Celebrity Cruises, and multiple parts of our Royal Caribbean International brand.”
Lutoff-Perlo said: “it has always been difficult for me to imagine leaving the incredible Celebrity brand, but the time is right for me to start an exciting new chapter and turn the helm over to a new leader.
“I’m excited to now work closely with Jason on broader initiatives as we sail towards an even brighter future.
“It has been my great honour to lead this brand…together, our accomplishments have been extraordinary.”
Lutoff-Perlo’s career with Royal Caribbean Group began in 1985, with her first role as a District Sales Manager.
In 2005, Lutoff-Perlo became Celebrity’s first female Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations, and in 2012, she was named Royal Caribbean International Executive Vice President Operations.
Meanwhile, Hodges Bethge most recently served as EVP Shared Services Operations.
