Silversea Cruises Announces Barbara Muckermann as President and CEO

Silversea Cruises Chief Commercial Officer Barbara Muckermann will become president and CEO of the line in January 2023 and will join parent company Royal Caribbean Group’s executive committee.

Ms Muckermann will replace Roberto Martinoli, who will assume the role of senior advisor to Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty.

“Roberto has built Silversea Cruises into the category leader that it is today, 11 ships strong with more on the way,” Jason Liberty said. “He is one of the most innovative and knowledgeable leaders in the maritime industry. As senior advisor, Roberto will continue to provide strategic guidance that further cements Royal Caribbean Group’s status as a leader in the travel and hospitality industry. Barbara is the ideal executive to succeed Roberto. Her global perspective and team-first leadership style are a recipe for success for both the Silversea Cruises brand and Royal Caribbean Group.”

Under Mr Martinoli’s leadership since 2016, Silversea has grown to 11 ships with more on the way in 2023 and 2024.

Ms Muckermann brings more than 25 years of experience in the travel and hospitality industry, with an emphasis on high-end vacations. She first joined Silversea Cruises in 2001 and held several roles at other luxury and cruise brands from 2005 to 2016 before returning.
