Carnival UK has announced that chief commercial officer Gerard Tempest is to leave the business as part of a restructure.
Carnival UK CEO David Noyes said the new organisational structure would focus on ‘greater brand differentiation and the end to end guest experience’.
A spokeswoman said no further details of the restructure could be disclosed at this stage.
Noyes thanked Tempest for his contribution and leadership.
"In Gerard’s tenure we have seen a significant improvement in our commercial performance. The last year has seen us deliver some spectacular events, most notably Britannia’s naming and Cunard’s 175 celebrations.
