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 
 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 of the Seabourn fleet. He 
also led the expansion into ultra-luxury expedition voyages with the launch of 
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."
