Windstar Cruises names new president

Cruise industry veteran John Delaney has been appointed president of Windstar Cruises.
 
Delaney joins the small ship cruise line on July 19 and was most recently senior vice president of global marketing and sales for Seabourn Cruise Line.
 
He has also served in various leadership roles including vice president of revenue marketing at Holland America Line, and at The Walt Disney Company.
 
"We are very pleased to welcome John onboard. Cruise vacationers and our guests have every reason to expect a new era of exciting vacation experiences on our yachts and in the ports Windstar visits," said Andrew N. Todd, chief executive officer of parent company Xanterra Parks & Resorts. 
 
"Windstar just welcomed back the renovated Star Pride, and since taking ownership of Windstar in 2011, we have invested more than $40 million into our three sailing yachts and three motorized all-suite yachts, so this is an ideal time for John to join the company and contribute to its success." 
 
Windstar operates six small ships and all-suite yachts which visit Europe, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, the Panama Canal, and year-round in Tahiti and the South Pacific.
