Windstar Cruises has named Arthur Theodorou as Vice President of Information Technology.
A seasoned technology executive, Theodorou (pictured) brings over two decades of experience driving digital transformation and IT innovation across the maritime and travel sectors.
His background includes leading complex IT ecosystems on land and sea, most recently as Vice President of Information Technology at Lindblad Expeditions.
At Windstar, he is responsible for steering the development and implementation of innovative systems and performance-driven technology that support the cruise line’s expanding fleet and elevated guest experience.
He is taking over the role from Jason Grant who was recently named CIO for Xanterra Travel Collection®, Windstar’s parent company.
“As we grow our fleet and embark on an incredible chapter of digital advancement, Arthur’s leadership will play a central role in shaping the future of Windstar’s technology,” said Windstar’s President Christopher Prelog.
“From modernising our guest platforms to enhancing connectivity and operational efficiency, Arthur’s vision and experience are exactly what we need as we scale up and continue delivering our signature small-ship experience.”
He is widely respected for his strategic yet hands-on leadership style and has led successful cloud migrations to AWS and Azure, implemented marine ERP systems, and launched Versonix’s online booking engine—all contributing to stronger internal systems and smoother guest journeys.
He is also known for promoting collaboration across departments including sales, marketing, finance, and operations.
“Arthur’s thoughtful approach to innovation is helping us build a smarter, more connected cruise line that remains personal and guest-focused—even as we grow,” added Prelog.
