Robertson, who was group general manager of sales for Air New Zealand, takes up her new appointment in November.
She will be responsible for the development of marketing activities, direct and indirect sales and digital capabilities to drive business performance growth and market share.
Rebuild and grow
Carnival Australia President Marguerite Fitzgerald said the new role reflects the organisation’s ambitious goals to rebuild and grow the business following the restart of cruising in Australia and New Zealand after a pause in operations of more than two years.
World’s most successful market
‘Kathryn is joining Carnival Australia with eight distinctive cruise brands at a very exciting time as we contribute to the rebuilding of Australia’s A$5bn a year cruise industry on the way to restoring Australia as the world’s most successful cruise market in terms of market penetration,’ Fitzgerald said.
Pivotal time
‘I am delighted to be joining Carnival Australia at such a pivotal time, where travel demand is accelerating and the cruise industry is rebuilding to pre-pandemic levels,’ Robertson said.
‘I am excited to see this region reach its full potential working with our trade partnerships amid renewed optimism and confidence.’
