The company's diverse portfolio encompasses several leading cruise lines, including AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises (UK), Princess Cruises, and Seabourn. Notably, the P&O Cruises (Australia) brand is being integrated into Carnival Cruise Line's operations by March 2025. With a fleet exceeding 90 vessels, these brands collectively offer voyages to over 800 ports and destinations worldwide, delivering a range of vacation experiences from contemporary to luxury. Beyond cruise operations, Carnival also develops and manages port destinations and offers various related services, with historical involvement in land-based vacation components like hotels and railcars through its Holland America Princess Alaska Tours. Its sales network primarily utilizes travel professionals, tour operators, vacation planners, and direct online channels to reach a broad global clientele. The company's reach extends across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, catering to diverse customer preferences. Founded in 1972, Carnival Corporation & plc maintains its operational headquarters in Doral, Florida, with corporate oversight from Miami, Florida, and a UK headquarters in Southampton, England. The company recently reported record-breaking second-quarter operating results for 2025, surpassing its 2026 financial targets ahead of schedule. It also welcomed new ships in 2024, including Carnival Jubilee, Sun Princess, and Queen Anne, while actively pursuing sustainability goals, aiming for a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity by 2026 and net-zero emissions from ship operations by 2050.
