Princess Cruises and Holland America Line Just Named New Presidents 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 27, 2024

Princess Cruises and Holland America now have new leadership following a shake-up by parent company Carnival Corporation. 

Current Holland America President Gus Antorcha is now the president of Princess Cruises, taking over for John Padgett, who is stepping down early next year. 

Holland America’s SVP and chief commercial officer, Beth Bodensteiner, has been named the new president of Holland America. 

Carnival has also named a new president for luxury small-ship line Seabourn: Mark Tamis, who replaces Natalya Leahy. 

The two new hires are “proven leaders who reflect the talent and capabilities of our organization and who have a deep knowledge of our industry, our business, and what drives our success,” said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation. 

Carnival’s global portfolio includes AIDA, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, P&O, Princess and Seabourn.
