The additions include three new corporate compliance leaders reporting directly to Anderson, who is building an extensive ethics and compliance program to drive a culture of compliance, learning and integrity inside the corporation and across its nine global cruise line brands.

The leadership, experience and passion of this very talented and determined team will play an instrumental role in our mission."
