Kazlauskas assumes the role on January 19, 2026. The executive succeeds David Herrera in an appointment the cruise line says aligns with newbuild programme execution. Mr Kazlauskas brings 30 years of experience in sales and operations.
Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings shared “Marc is a proven leader with deep commercial expertise and an unwavering commitment to the guest experience. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for the Norwegian Cruise Line brand as we continue to see healthy demand for cruise, execute on our newbuild program and make significant progress on major initiatives, including enhancements to our private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay. Marc will be instrumental in further advancing the brand’s long-term performance and growth.”
Marc Kazlauskas, incoming president at Norwegian Cruise Line shared “I am honored to join Norwegian Cruise Line at such an exciting moment. The momentum already underway sets NCL up for continued success, and I look forward to building on the company’s strong performance alongside its incredible team. With robust booking trends, the upcoming debut of Norwegian Luna, as well as the company’s strong pipeline of newbuilds through 2036 and major enhancements to Great Stirrup Cay, the company is well positioned for future success. As I step into this new role, I’m deeply grateful for my time at Avoya Travel and the remarkable people who’ve helped shape my journey leading to this exciting next chapter.”
