Uniworld’s departing GM John Molinaro

Molinaro, who has worked in the cruise industry for almost 40 years, said he planned to “place a greater emphasis on personal life”.

“It has been an immensely enjoyable period leading a tremendous team at one of the most prestigious brands in the travel industry,” he commented.

Meanwhile, TTC chief executive John Veitch said the company was “sorry” to see Molinaro go.

“He has been a great asset to the organisation during his eight years with us and made an enormous contribution to the growth of Uniworld during this time,” he said.

“We sincerely thank John and wish him and his family all the very best for the future.”

Molinaro will remain in the role until March, with his successor to be announced shortly.

His departure follows hot on the heels of that of former Insight Vacations managing director Joost Timmer who was replaced by Alex O’Connor earlier this month. O’Connor joined from Virgin Australia.
