Carnival UK says it will make a change to its trade sales structure next year to create a dedicate resource for Princess Cruises by separating it from a team that is also responsible for Cunard Line and P&O Cruises.

The single entity has been called Complete Cruise Solutions, which will continue to e.g. take care of agent training and booking services for all three brands.

The P&O and Cunard team will be headed by Chris Truscott, who will join Carnival UK from Pernod Ricard, the beverage group, at the new year, while the vacancy for the same position with Princess is open at the moment.
