Oceania Cruises president Frank Del Rio Jr will step down from his role after just over two years.
He started his career in the cruise industry in 2003 as one of the first employees at Oceania Cruises, before rejoining the company in 2022 as chief sales and marketing officer following a hiatus from the sector.
Del Rio Jr succeeded former Oceania Cruises president Howard Sherman in January 2022.
Jason Montague, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings chief luxury officer, thanked Del Rio Jr and his father, the company’s founder, for their “enduring legacy” on Oceania Cruises and the broader industry.
Montague said: “I want to personally thank Frank for his outstanding stewardship of the brand, positioning it for an incredibly bright future, and for assembling an exceptional leadership team.
“We wish him all the best in his next chapter.”
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings appointed Montague in the new role in January to oversee the expansion of the company’s premium brands, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The new leadership structure saw Del Rio Jr report into Montague and will also see Regent president Andrea DeMarco stepping down on March 4 following a transition period.
