About Carnival CORP

Carnival Corporation is a global leader in leisure travel and, specifically, the cruise industry. The company is associated with the U.S. listed market and trades on the NYSE/NASDAQ framework through its American listing, with a major operational presence in Miami, Florida, United States. For investors, Carnival stands out for its multi-brand platform, which gives it exposure across mass-market, premium, and luxury cruise demand. Its portfolio includes Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Cunard, Seabourn, AIDA Cruises, and Costa Cruises, and it operates a global fleet of more than 90 ships. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000815097/000081509726000023/a2025usannualreport.pdf)) Founded in 1972 with the creation of Carnival Cruise Line, the business has grown over several decades into the world’s largest cruise company and one of the largest leisure travel groups. It was incorporated in 1974, giving it a long operating history and a deeply established presence in global vacation travel. The company’s evolution has been shaped by organic growth, brand expansion, and portfolio management, allowing it to serve different customer segments with distinct cruise experiences. ([carnivalcorporation.com](https://www.carnivalcorporation.com/our-company)) Carnival’s revenue model is centered on passenger ticket sales, onboard spending, shore excursions, and other ancillary services. It also benefits from destination and itinerary management capabilities that support its cruise operations. Geographically, the group has broad exposure across North America, Europe, and Australia, while offering itineraries in the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and other major cruise regions. Its competitive position is anchored by scale, brand recognition, itinerary breadth, and fleet utilization, all of which are important in a capital-intensive industry where operating leverage and occupancy matter materially.

In first-quarter 2025, Carnival reported record operating results, citing exceptionally strong demand, historically high pricing, and record booking levels for 2026 and beyond. The company raised full-year 2025 guidance and said it was progressing toward its SEA Change financial targets. Another strategically important development is the company’s plan to simplify its long-standing dual-listed company structure, which could improve corporate clarity and governance transparency over time.
