PIRAEUS, GREECE — Celestyal Cruises has welcomed David Beasley to its team, appointing him as Manager, Contact Center and Business Intelligence, North America.

The Call Center will report to Beasley, as will all Administrative and Group functions, beginning Feb. 12. Beasley, in turn, will report to President Leslie Peden.
