Byron joined Royal Caribbean International in early 2018; however, it was confirmed shortly before Christmas he had decided to "take on a new challenge outside the travel industry".
He has been succeeded at Royal by Aaron Langford, a Royal stalwart of some 15 years who joins the line’s UK leadership team after a spell at Royal Caribbean HQ in Miami.
