Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCL) has appointed Mark Kempa as its chief financial officer after he spent two decades in various accounting positions with the company.

Kempa most recently served as the Frank Del Rio-led cruise major's interim chief financial officer for six months, following the resignation of Wendy Beck to pursue other opportunities.

Kempa's previous roles with NCL include senior vice president of finance since November 2014 and vice president of corporate and capital planning from September 2008, according to a regulatory filing.
