With nearly 24 years of experience, he has worked on 18 Carnival ships, including notable vessels such as Carnival Sunshine, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Horizon, Mardi Gras, and Carnival Celebration. Captain Catalani has previously led teams in Galveston as well when he captained Carnival Vista, a role he is now proud to reprise for the debut of the new ship in Texas. Catalani expressed his honor and excitement, stating, “This is a great professional accomplishment for the entire team. We are counting the days until we take delivery and can bring this beautiful new ship to our guests in Galveston.”
