Crystal Cruises has promoted Toni Neumeister to senior vice president of hotel operations.
The appointment follows the resignation of chief operating officer Thomas Mazloum, who has left to pursue another opportunity outside of the cruise industry.
Crystal CEO and president Edie RodriguezRodriguez said: "It is with a heavy heart that we say good-bye to Thomas, whose talents have played an instrumental role in establishing Crystal’s award-winning reputation. We wish him nothing but the best in his new endeavours."
