Windstar Cruises’ president resigns
Windstar Cruises’ president John Delaney will step down this week.
Delaney is leaving for personal reasons but will assist with the transition through March.
Andrew Todd, president and CEO of parent company Xanterra Leisure Holding, will continue as CEO of Windstar.
Delaney joined Windstar from Seabourn where he served as sales and marketing SVP.
He also held several positions at Holland America Line.
Delaney had been Windstar president since 2016 and oversaw its current $250m Star Plus program which will see the revamp and lengthening of three ships.
The first of the lengthened vessels, Star Breeze, returns in May.
