Carnival Australia has
promoted Sture Myrmell to the
role of Senior Vice President for
P&O Cruises, in a restructure
which will see Tammy Marshall
depart the company next month.
Marshall, who joined Carnival
2.5 years ago from a senior role
with The Travel Corporation, has
been responsible for driving P&O
Cruises’ commercial operations
as well as “cross-brand” functions
including the Complete Cruise
Solution portfolio, now renamed
as World’s Leading Cruise Lines.
Myrmell’s new role expands his
former position in charge of Hotel
Operations, while the reshuffle
also sees Peter Little promoted to
an expanded role as Senior Vice
President Fleet Operations.
A statement from Carnival says
the changes are being made
in the lead-up to P&O’s fleet
expansion later this year, which
will see two former Holland
America Line vessels join the local
P&O Cruises operation.
Intriguingly, the statement also
states that Carnival Australia is
now part of the Holland America
Group, with the changes aligning
it more closely with HAL “by
leveraging cross-brand scale
within its multi-brand structure”.
During her time with Carnival,
Marshall has been part of a major
repositioning of the P&O brand.
“Tammy has made a significant
contribution that has enhanced
P&O Cruises’ position as
Australia’s most trusted
cruise brand beginning with
comprehensive analysis of its
growth potential,” said Carnival
Australia ceo Ann Sherry.
She said the repositioning
had set the scene for P&O’s
growth to five ships, adding
“we are indebted to Tammy for
her leadership in P&O Cruises’
continuing story of growth,
innovation and customer focus”.
Carnival said the restructure
would help it continue to lead
the Australasian cruise market,
with the new leadership seeing it
“concentrate even more strongly
on enhancing the onboard guest
experience”.
