Carnival Corp. on Wednesday named travel industry veteran Christine Duffy president of its largest cruise brand.

Ms. Duffy, currently chief executive of trade group Cruise Lines International Association, will head the 24-ship Carnival Cruise Line starting Feb. 1. Ms. Duffy will report to Chief Executive Arnold Donald.

Carnival, the world's largest cruise-ship operator, owns cruise lines including Princess, Cunard and Holland America.

Ms. Duffy has more than three decades of experience in the travel industry, starting out as a travel agent in Philadelphia. She served as chief executive of Maritz Travel before becoming chief executive of CLIA in 2010.

Carnival is expected to report results for the quarter ended in November on Friday, and analysts are expecting the company to report that its revenue grew 4%. The company has posted strong results in recent quarters as booking trends have improved. The company raised its outlook for the year in September.
