HOLLAND AMERICA GROUP'S NATALYA LEAHY APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF SEABOURN 

Josh Leibowitz departing to pursue new opportunities   

SEATTLE, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra-luxury cruise line Seabourn
(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3797071-1&h=2075498240&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seabourn.com%2F&a=Seabourn) announced
the appointment today of Natalya Leahy as the business's new president. Leahy,
whose seven years with Holland America Group included operational oversight of
Seabourn, succeeds Josh Leibowitz who is leaving the brand to pursue new
opportunities. 

Leahy was most recently chief operating officer for Holland America Group
serving Princess, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Australia and land
operations. Prior to joining the cruise industry, she held various leadership
roles with Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola, supporting iconic brands and new
product launches. 

As part of a structure to build on the benefit of shared services between
Holland America Line and Seabourn, she will report to Gus Antorcha, president
of Holland America Line. 

"Seabourn has earned a top position in the luxury and expedition cruising
space, and Natalya's expertise, background and proven track record in
delivering results is ideal to build on that success," Antorcha said. "With
her leadership and the introduction later this year of our second
purpose-built expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit,  I am confident in the
future growth of Seabourn." 

"It's an honor to join the extraordinary Seabourn team and partners who take
personal pride in curating transformative, enriching, one-of-a-kind Seabourn
moments," Leahy said. "We have built unmatched luxury experiences at sea that
provide life expanding moments for our guests. I am excited to support and
work with our trade partners as we continue to surprise and delight our guests
in ways they would never imagine." 

Leibowitz oversaw the successful return to service

the Seabourn fleet. He also led the expansion into ultra-luxury expedition
voyages with the launch of Seabourn Venture
(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3797071-1&h=1761895114&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seabourn.com%2Fen_US%2Fnews%2Fpress-release%2F2022-press-releases%2Fseabourn-venture-sets-sail-for-its-first-voyage.html&a=Seabourn+Venture),
offering guests opportunities to explore remote destinations in every corner
of the world. Leibowitz was instrumental in the relaunch of the Seabourn brand
with the award-winning "This Is Your Moment" marketing campaign, to focus on
active, affluent travel decision makers. Prior to Seabourn, he served for
seven years as chief strategy officer for Carnival Corporation. 

"Josh's leadership in navigating the pause and return to service proved
valuable for Seabourn's future," Antorcha added. "We appreciate his
contributions and wish him well. This business has a bright future with the
best in all-inclusive, luxury cruising and now expedition voyages. I look
forward to seeing Natalya bring her passion and talent to Seabourn's
success."
