The report has now been confirmed by the Carnival group.
Managing directors of P&O Cruises and Cunard Line are to leave at the beginning of September and a new organisation structure will take effect after that, Travel weekly reports in a newsflash emailed to Cruise Business in the UK.
P&O Cruises' Carol Marlow and Cunard Line's Peter Shanks would not be replaced. Instead, each of the Carnival UK brands would have a marketing director, but a new insight director would be appointed to oversee both brands. The new directors would report to Gerard Tempest who was appointed as chief commercial officer recently. David Dingle, chief executive officer of Carnival UK, would assume the same role in P&O Cruises and Cunard Line as well, the report said.
Cruise Business Online has not been able to obtain a comment from Carnival UK as yet.
Headquarters of both Cunard Line and P&O Cruises are in Carnival House in Southampton, England.
