Sture Myrmell, the current senior vice president, will assume the role on January 1, 2016.
He is currently responsible for P&O Cruises’ commercial operations, guest experience and product development.
Carnival Australia CEO Ann Sherry, who has been overseeing the day-to-day operations of P&O will become Carnival Australia’s executive chairman.
