He brings a highly effective management style, a wealth of technical knowledge and a keen appreciation of luxury hospitality standards to the task of operating our ship and leading our community.'
'I am honored to join the team at The World as its next CEO. Both the shoreside and shipboard teams have done an outstanding job of serving the resident community and operating under Pam Conover’s leadership,' Wolber said.
Residents from more than 20 countries
