Barbara Muckermann has departed Royal Caribbean Group after 14 years
with Silversea to pursue other opportunities, passing the baton to Bert
Hernandez, who will succeed her as the luxury cruise line’s president.
Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group, paid tribute
to the outgoing president, saying, "I have had the pleasure of working
with Barbara since 2018 when Silversea joined Royal Caribbean Group,
first in her role as chief marketing and commercial officer and later as
brand president.
“Barbara has helped position Silversea as the world’s top ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line.”
Hernandez has been with Royal Caribbean Group for 20 years, most
recently serving as senior vice president, international. He also served
as president of China operations for Royal Caribbean International and
as chief operating officer for the group’s former luxury cruise line,
Azamara, while it was part of the Royal Caribbean family of brands.
