At the same time, Kevin Bubolz will be given the role of Vice President & Managing Director CEMEA. Krimmel and Bubolz have both worked for NCL for almost two decades and helped strengthen the company's international position.       

Norwegian Cruise Line has just announced a change at the top of the organization. Jason Krimmel will become Vice President of International and will be responsible for the expansion of Norwegian Cruise Line's international sales, marketing and communications outside of the United States and Canada. 

During his 19-year career with Norwegian Cruise Line, Krimmel has held a number of positions within several of the company's departments, most recently as Vice President of International Marketing and Global Creative Strategy, where he and his team led the launch of NCL's most comprehensive international marketing campaign to date, "Break Free.".

”I look forward to leading NCL’s international operations and further accelerating growth in our most promising markets. With the launch of Norwegian Viva, the 19th ship in our award-winning fleet, our return to destinations around the world, and pent-up demand for global cruises, 2023 could very well be NCL’s most successful year ever,” said Jason Krimmel, NCL’s new Vice President of International. 

Extended responsibility for Kevin Bubolz

Kevin Bubolz, who has been Managing Director Europe since March 2018, will be given the title of Vice President & Managing Director CEMEA, expanding his area of responsibility to include Israel, the Middle East and Africa. 

Bubolz joined NCL in 2005 and has held a number of sales and marketing positions, including Vice President of Commercial and Business Planning at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH), which operates Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
