Carnival Corporation names Sture Myrmell president of Carnival UK 
 
Effective Oct. 18, Sture Myrmell, currently president of P&O Cruises Australia 
and president of Carnival Australia, will begin his new role as president of 
Carnival UK, the UK's largest cruise operator, overseeing the Cunard and P&O 
Cruises UK cruise line brands. Myrmell, who will be based in Southampton, 
England, will also serve temporarily as president of Cunard during the 
recruitment for that position. He will report directly to Josh Weinstein, chief 
operations officer for Carnival Corporation, who also has responsibility for 
Carnival UK. 
 
Effective Jan. 10, 2022, Marguerite Fitzgerald, most recently serving as the 
lead for Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) global lodging and leisure practice, 
as well as its global strategy business, will assume Myrmell's prior position 
serving a dual role as president of P&O Cruises Australia and Carnival 
Australia. Fitzgerald, a global travel and tourism veteran bringing deep 
expertise in all aspects of cruise operations to Carnival Corporation, will be 
based in Sydney and report directly to Jan Swartz, group president, Holland 
America Group. 
 
"Sture is a two-decade-plus veteran at our company, so we look forward to him 
bringing his deep experience, excellent leadership skills and proven track 
record of success to a new leadership opportunity," said Weinstein. "He will 
play a crucial role in our success in the UK, and we look forward to his 
contributions as we deliver to our guests the best vacation experiences in the 
world." 
 
With over 20 years of experience with Carnival Corporation, Myrmell has served 
in multiple positions across the Princess Cruises, Cunard, Seabourn and P&O 
Australia brands. In his new role with Carnival UK, Myrmell replaces Simon 
Palethorpe, who will be leaving the company at the end of November after six 
years for a new opportunity. 
 
"Simon has been a true asset for the company these past years, and we wish him 
the best with this new opportunity," said Weinstein. "He successfully 
revitalized the Cunard brand and then ably stepped into the role of president 
of Carnival UK for the past 15 months, leading both P&O Cruises and Cunard back 
into guest operations this summer with the Carnival UK executive team." 
 
Australian-born Fitzgerald brings two decades of strategy and operational 
experience in retail and leisure travel to her dual-role position with Carnival 
Australia, replacing Myrmell. 
 
Fitzgerald has worked across global geographies developing international 
strategies for travel and tourism companies, including over 10 years working 
with cruise lines - including several Carnival Corporation brands - in 
virtually every area of operations, from commercial to hotel to maritime. Prior 
to her time at BCG, Fitzgerald served for several years in the Australian power 
industry. 
 
"Marguerite is a trusted global authority in the travel and tourism industry 
with extensive expertise in the worldwide cruise passenger market, including 
direct experience working in the Australian and New Zealand region," said 
Swartz. "With the insight she brings from consulting with some of the world's 
most well-known travel and tourism companies, including several of our brands, 
she is uniquely qualified to make a strong contribution to Carnival Australia's 
continued success. We are delighted to welcome her to the team."
