                         Cruises in leadership change 
 
SOUTHAMPTON, England, May 30, 2023 -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: 
CCL; NYSE: CUK) has announced the appointment of Paul Ludlow as Carnival UK 
president in addition to his leadership role for P&O Cruises. 
 
In his new consolidated position, Ludlow will assume all commercial and 
operational responsibility for Carnival UK which includes P&O Cruises and 
Cunard globally. New Cunard president Katie McAlister, who joins the company in 
August, will report to Ludlow. 
 
As part of this leadership change, Sture Myrmell will be leaving the business 
after a long and illustrious career with the company. 
 
Commenting on the changes, Carnival Corporation & plc president, CEO and chief 
climate officer Josh Weinstein said: "Paul is a 21-year veteran of the company 
with far-reaching experience across every commercial department and multiple 
brands in our portfolio of world-class cruise lines. That deep expertise, 
coupled with Paul's proven leadership and track record of outstanding results, 
make him the clear choice to support our entire UK organization and to drive 
our return to strong profitability." 
 
Weinstein added: "I would also like to thank Sture for 30 years of dedicated 
service. From his start in our company as an officer aboard Cunard, to becoming 
President, P&O Cruises - Australia, to coming full circle and ultimately 
leading Carnival UK including the venerable Cunard brand, Sture's dedication 
and contributions to our company have been significant. We wish him well." 
 
Carnival UK & P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: "There has never been a 
more auspicious time for our two brands. P&O Cruises continues to deliver 
outstanding success and is clearly at the forefront of contemporary, mainstream 
holidays. 
 
"Aligned with global talent including Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger, as 
well as credible, authentic partnerships such as the recent BAFTA Television 
Awards sponsorship, the future of the brand could not be brighter. 
 
"Next year will be a momentous one for Cunard with the arrival of our new ship 
and our fourth Queen, Queen Anne, which will once again shine the spotlight on 
this exceptional brand with its rich legacy.  I am confident that the arrival 
of Katie McAlister to lead the Cunard team will build on the demand for Cunard 
voyages in the UK and across the world." 
 
Ludlow's role is effective from June 1, 2023.
