Other senior officers include Rosario Capilli as chief engineer and Pierre Camilleri as hotel director.
De Angelis joined the company as a deck cadet aboard Carnival Imagination in 1995 and was named captain in 2010. He has been a member of the start-up teams for five ships and most recently served as master of the line’s newest ship, Carnival Vista, during its inaugural season in Miami.
Capilli joined Carnival in 1990 following a career in the tanker and cargo industries in his native Italy. He was named chief engineer in 2002 and has served in this capacity on a number of Carnival ships, including Carnival Vista during its inaugural season. During 27 years with Carnival, Capilli has been part of the start-up teams for three Fun Ships.
Now in his 13th year with Carnival, Camilleri joined the company as hotel director after managing hotel and resort properties in his native Malta, as well as in North Africa, Italy and China. He has served as hotel director on several Carnival ships and traveled to Italy to be a part of the inaugural teams for the line’s most recent newbuilds, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Vista.
These senior officers will lead a team of nearly 1,400 crew who will travel to Marghera, where Carnival Horizon is under construction by Fincantieri, to prepare the ship for its April 2 maiden voyage, a 13-day Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona.
