Carnival CEO Dickinson to retire
Carnival Cruise Lines president and CEO Bob Dickinson is to retire at the end of 2007 after 35 years with the company.
Current Carnival Corporation chief financial officer Gerry Cahill is assuming Dickinson’s responsibilities immediately and Carnival Corporation vice-president and treasurer David Bernstein steps up to become CFO.
Dickinson’s decision marks the second senior departure announcement from the cruise organisation in a matter of weeks following former Princess Cruises International boss Peter Ratcliffe’s early retirement plans.
Dickinson, who turns 65 next month, will remain on the board of directors at Carnival Cruise Lines.
Carnival Corporation chairman and CEO Micky Arison described Dickinson as “one of the most influential people in the development of the modern-day cruise industry”.
