David Dingle will take over from Anastassiadis at CLIA Europe

The veteran British executive will step in to complete Kerry Anastassiadis's term as head of CLIA Europe, following the announcement last week of his departure from Celestyal Cruises at the end of June. David Dingle, President of Carnival UK and Vice President of CLIA Europe, previously led the now-defunct European Cruise Council, the precursor to CLIA Europe. He will take the helm until the end of the year, when Anastassiadis's term was set to expire.
