Carnival Cruise Line Australia, not to be confused with parent Carnival Corporation, has announced that Kara Glamore, currently Carnival Cruise Lines’ Director of Marketing and PR, is taking over as Vice President from former Carnival Cruise Line Vice President, Jennifer Vandekreeke, who has left the company.
Carnival Cruise Lines says that Glamore joined Carnival from some of the world’s biggest brands, including Kraft, Nestlé and Expedia in 2019 and now with a passion for the travel industry, is committed to the brand’s mission of offering Aussies fun, memorable holidays at great value.
Glamore said, “It’s been a pleasure working with the Carnival team these past two years and I’m honoured to take this next step as Vice President”, adding, “There is much to look forward to once we resume cruising within Australia”, and “Aussies will have more opportunities to explore their beautiful backyard by sea than ever before, and Queenslanders will be able to enjoy the fun of a Carnival Cruise without leaving the state as Carnival Spirit moves to her new Brisbane homeport”.
She added, “I’m beyond excited to continue working with our incredible partners in this new role – they will be instrumental in welcoming cruising back into Australia.”
Anton Loeb has also been promoted into the newly created role of Sr. Director, Sales and Marketing for Carnival Cruise Line Australia, with Anton a founding member of the Carnival team when the operation started in Australia and he has built the sales team to what it is today.
Carnival says that over the past nine years Anton has grown Carnival’s trade presence, engagement, and trust to the highest levels with his straightforward approach, deep passion for his team and trade partners, and his unique ability to make anything fun and that Anton will now bring this approach to marketing, leading the development of Carnival’s above the line communications.
Former Carnival Cruise Line VP, Jennifer Vandekreeke said, “I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside both Kara and Anton for a number of years and Carnival could not be in better hands to usher in our return to service”, adding, Kara and Anton truly embody Carnival’s core values and I can’t wait to see what they bring to the business”.
