Crystal Cruises has named Christian Sauleau senior vice president of operations and guest satisfaction.

In this new position, Sauleau will oversee Crystal’s departments of marine, hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and land programs. He will also manage safety and security operations, as well as officer and crew hiring processes and development.
