Seabourn president Mark Tamis is no longer with the cruise line.
Holland America president Beth Bodensteiner is taking over for Tamis, who was first appointed president in 2024. Seatrade Cruise News first reported the news.
Bodensteiner, who already held overarching responsibility for Seabourn’s business performance and strategic direction, will step into the presidency as the two brands continue their shared-services model.
In a statement provided to Seatrade Cruise News, Bodensteiner noted that Tamis originally came on board to help draw the lines closer together and strengthen Seabourn’s crew culture. With those objectives met, Tamis opted to step down to pursue a new opportunity.
Tamis departs after taking the helm at Seabourn in late 2024 following a stint as global president at Aimbridge Hospitality, alongside prior senior operations roles at Royal Caribbean International and Carnival Cruise Line. His next destination has not yet been announced.
Alongside the transition, Carnival Corporation announced a pair of leadership adjustments to support Seabourn.
Michael Stendebach has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Guest Experience and Product Development, taking direct ownership of onboard execution and the end-to-end guest journey. At the same time, Rob Coleman, Senior Vice President of Global Sales, has taken on the additional title of Seabourn Executive Ambassador.
