CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE INTRODUCES CARNIVAL JUBILEE’S SENIOR OFFICERS

Carnival’s Next New Ship to Begin Sailing from Galveston in December

With her arrival just months away, Carnival Cruise Line introduces Carnival Jubilee‘s senior officers at the helm of this newest ship. The ship is under construction at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany and will operate its first cruise from its homeport of Galveston, TX on Dec. 23, 2023. Carnival has appointed Captain Andrea Catalani, Chief Engineer Vittorino Perasole, and Hotel Director Pierre Camilleri as the ship’s senior officers.

“These accomplished senior officers have combined nearly 70 years of experience and will serve as knowledgeable and inspirational leaders to our more than 1,700 team members on Carnival Jubilee,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “They will also ensure that our guests are very well taken care of.”

Carnival Jubilee’s arrival will be the second time Captain Catalani leads a team in Galveston. He served as captain on Carnival Vista when the ship began to homeport there in 2018. Now, he is proud to lead the way for a new ship’s debut in Texas.

“I feel honored and privileged for leading such a great team of professionals on Carnival Jubilee, which will soon be the most innovative Carnival ship deployed to Galveston,” said Catalani. “This is a great professional accomplishment for the entire team. We are counting the days until we take delivery and can bring this beautiful new ship to our guests in Galveston.”
