Carnival Corp. Ltd. (CCL)

Carnival runs cruise lines, eight of them: AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Seabourn. The corporate structure has two halves. Carnival Corporation was incorporated in Panama in 1974 and Carnival plc in England and Wales in 2000, and the two are run as a dual listed company: a single economic enterprise with one executive management team and identical boards, but two separate legal identities, two stock exchange listings and two sets of shareholders. The financial year ends on 30 November. During 2025 the P&O Cruises (Australia) brand was sunset and its Australian operations folded into Carnival Cruise Line.

Carnival Corp. Ltd.

Carnival runs cruise lines, eight of them: AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Seabourn. The corporate structure has two halves. Carnival Corporation was incorporated in Panama in 1974 and Carnival plc in England and Wales in 2000, and the two are run as a dual listed company: a single economic enterprise with one executive management team and identical boards, but two separate legal identities, two stock exchange listings and two sets of shareholders. The financial year ends on 30 November. During 2025 the P&O Cruises (Australia) brand was sunset and its Australian operations folded into Carnival Cruise Line.

The fleet

At the end of 2025 the group operated 94 ships with passenger capacity of 272,380 lower berths, counted on the industry convention of two passengers per cabin even where a cabin holds more. The North America segment held 63 ships and 174,910 berths, 64 percent of capacity: Carnival Cruise Line at 94,340 berths, Princess Cruises at 54,890, Holland America Line at 23,030 and Seabourn at 2,640. The Europe segment held 31 ships and 97,470 berths, 36 percent of capacity, made up of AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises at 31,140 berths across nine ships, P&O Cruises at 24,300 across seven and Cunard at 9,770 across four.

Ships on order

Two AIDA newbuilds of 4,280 berths each are contracted for February 2030 and December 2031, both subject to financing. Carnival Cruise Line has Carnival Festivale for April 2027 and Carnival Tropicale for March 2028, 5,360 berths each, and three further newbuilds of 6,160 berths each for July 2029, July 2031 and June 2033.

The brands

AIDA sells into the German market. Carnival Cruise Line, which calls itself The World's Most Popular Cruise Line, has been selling multi-generational family holidays for over 50 years. Costa has been going over 75 years and puts a European and Italian character on its onboard service. Cunard, 185 years old, runs transatlantic crossings and world voyages as well as Europe, the Caribbean and Alaska. Holland America Line, over 150 years old and with nearly 80 years in Alaska, carries guests to more than 100 countries. Princess Cruises and Seabourn complete the North American group, Seabourn at the small and luxury end.

The land side

A Cruise Support segment holds the port destinations and exclusive islands and other services, all run for the benefit of the cruise brands. The islands and ports named include Princess Cays and RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, both in the Bahamas, and Puerta Maya in Cozumel, Mexico. In 2025 the company introduced the Paradise Collection, which includes Celebration Key, a newly launched exclusive port destination. A separate Tour and Other segment holds Holland America Princess Alaska Tours, which owns and operates hotels, lodges, glass-domed railcars and motorcoaches alongside the Alaska cruises.

The proposed unification

The boards of both companies are proposing to collapse the dual listed structure into one entity: Carnival Corporation, listed solely on the New York Stock Exchange, with Carnival plc becoming its wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary. Carnival plc shareholders would receive Carnival Corporation shares one for one, and Carnival plc shares and American Depositary Receipts would come off the London and New York exchanges. Carnival Corporation also proposes moving its legal incorporation from Panama to Bermuda under the name Carnival Corporation Ltd. The filing states there would be no material change to the business, its strategy, its assets or its operations. Shareholder meetings were to be held in April 2026, and the company says it intends to complete the unification and the Bermuda incorporation in the second quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder, regulatory and United Kingdom court approvals.

People and pricing

Prices for coming seasons are set by each brand and made available mainly over the internet. Collective bargaining agreements cover 48 percent of shipboard employees and 21 percent of shoreside employees.

Each quarter as filed, linked to its filing.
Read more* The fourth quarter is the full year less the first three quarters, because the company files the year and not the quarter on its own. A fourth quarter's EPS, and its diluted share count where shown, are from the company's results press release for that quarter, checked against the company's filed figures or a second data source. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and the share count are as they are. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Cash flow lines filed year to date are the difference between two filings. Shares outstanding are at the period end where the balance sheet tags them, otherwise the count on the filing's cover page. A derived fourth-quarter EPS is left blank when a split in the year makes the arithmetic meaningless.

At the fiscal year end; the TTM column is the latest quarter end.
Read moreBoth totals are the company's own. Other liabilities is the filed total less the rows above it: payables, deferred revenue, taxes, borrowings the rows above do not carry and the rest; other assets is the same on the other side. Investments add the current and non-current lines as filed. Debt is the company's own stated total where it files one, otherwise its long-term debt with the current maturities, never parts added together. A row is left blank in a year where the lines shown overlap and the remainder would fall below nil.
