Katina Athanasiou is in as Celebrity Cruises’ next senior vice president of sales, replacing longtime senior vice president Dondra Ritzenthaler, who retired this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Athanasiou began with the line in January as vice president of sales in the Americas. She came to the brand after a year as senior vice president of sales at Silversea Cruises.<\/p>\n

Both Celebrity and Silversea are owned by Royal Caribbean Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Athanasiou was previously chief sales officer at Norwegian Cruise Line, a position she left in June 2021 due to her decision to delay getting a Covid-19 vaccination, which was a condition of employment. She was at Norwegian for 14 years.<\/p>\n

The change comes after Celebrity’s Lisa Lutoff-Perlo stepped down as CEO of the cruise line and transitioned to vice president of external affairs for Royal Caribbean Group. Ritzenthaler announced plans to retire soon after.\u00a0<\/p>\n
