This newly created role reports to President and CEO Andy Stuart.

'With the launch of our latest ship, Norwegian Encore, in November and the much-anticipated debut of our Leonardo-class ships, it is more important now than ever that we enhance our efforts and have a laser focus on driving results,' Stuart said. 'As such, we are making the most of the exceptional talent we have across the organization. We are very excited that Katina will lead this already exceptional team in delivering truly meaningful results.'
