Rowe said Daniels was an "experienced and passionate" cruise executive, with an impressive track record establishing major ocean and river brands in the UK market.
"Her commercial acumen, extensive network of contacts and longstanding contribution to the Clia family will be invaluable to us going forward," said Rowe.
Daniels added: "I am thrilled to be joining such a wonderfully well-respected team under the leadership of Lucia, and excited to build on the successful growth and strong trade relations while exploring opportunities for new dynamic partnerships."
