Expanded role for P&O Australia head.
P&O Australia head Sture Myrmell has been appointed president of Carnival Australia, taking on an expanded role across the group’s seven cruise brands.
Currently president of P&O Cruises Australia, Myrmell will take on regional responsibility for the organisation’s shared services group which supports the cruise lines in this market.
He will report to Jan Swartz, Group President Princess Cruises and Carnival Australia.
“Sture has done an outstanding job as President of P&O Cruises Australia ensuring the brand reflects the energy of modern Australia, and this most recent appointment reinforces the strength of the local environment and Carnival Corporation and plc’s commitment to the region,” Swartz said.
Myrmell’s new position has been open since Ann Sherry stepped back from day-to-day operations to take on the part-time executive chairman role after 10 years at the helm of Carnival Australia.
