SILVERSEA Cruises SVP and Managing Director Australia & New Zealand, Adam Armstrong, has announced he will be stepping down from the position later this year.
After spending just over 18 months in the role, Armstrong will leave the luxury cruise brand to pursue an opportunity outside of the cruise sector.
Reflecting on the news, Silversea’s global CEO Roberto Martinoli wished Armstrong well, and provided a status update as to how the transition in the local office will occur.
“We would like to thank Adam for his important contribution to the success of Silversea in Australia & New Zealand and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavours,” he said.
“We are currently working with Adam on the exact timing of his departure, for the time being the Australian office will continue business-as-usual with Adam managing the office and its operation; and we will keep you posted on the appointment of his successor”.
Speaking about his impending departure, Armstrong was glowing in his appraisal of the line’s local operations.
“It has been a great privilege to lead Silversea Cruises in our region and I am incredibly proud of everything that our team has achieved during this time,” he said.
“Silversea is a very special brand and it has been a pleasure to work with such a professional and dedicated team in our Sydney office, whom I look forward to working with until my departure later this year,” Armstrong added.
Before joining the line in Jul 2018, the outgoing Silversea chief spent close to 10 years at Royal Caribbean, operating in a range of senior roles such as AVP & Managing Director – Australia & NZ, as well as Regional Commercial Director – APAC.
Before that, the British-born Armstrong was with Carnival Australia for four years.
