    WHO WE ARE

    If you're thinking of cruising, there's a very good chance you're considering a Carnival cruise. Growing since our founding in 1972, Carnival Cruise Line โ€” โ€œThe World's Most Popular Cruise Lineยฎโ€ โ€” now carries millions of guests every year, and was the first-ever cruise line to reach the milestone of having sailed 100 million guests!


    Carnival Cruise Line is proud to be part of a family of companies owned by Carnival Corporation, which includes sister lines Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Cunard Line, among others.


    OUR COMMON VISION

    Carnival Corporation, parent company of Carnival Cruise Line and other great brands, is the global leader in the cruise industry, leading the way in innovative and sustainable cruising to deliver memorable vacations and build borderless connections. But we never forget to create unforgettable happiness for our guests during their extraordinary cruise vacations, all while honoring the integrity of every ocean we sail, place we visit and life we touch.


    WHAT WE DO

    In a nutshellโ€ฆ weโ€™re all about fun vacations at sea and ashore! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos and more. (Like what? Like waterslides!) We invite our guests to come as they are, and we make everyone feel right at home with comfy staterooms, attentive service, casual and elegant dining, plus a variety of bars and gathering places indoors and out. Guests enjoy this unique experience against the backdrop of some of the worldโ€™s most beautiful seaports.


    Our 29 ships operate cruises as short as a weekend, with others as long as a week or two. These ships set sail from every coast in the U.S. โ€” we have 13 domestic homeports, two in Australia, plus seasonal sailings from Europe. While weโ€™re best known for Caribbean cruises, we sail to other exotic, amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Hawaii, the South Pacific, New Zealand and Asia.


    In summer 2025, we began welcoming guests to Celebration Key, an exclusive Carnival-owned destination on Grand Bahama island, and a member of Carnival's Paradise Collection. Our fleet of ships will be growing, too, with five new ships debuting through 2033, including our fourth and fifth Excel class ships (Carnival Festivale in 2027, and Carnival Tropicale in 2028), plus three additions from an all-new ship class.


    Carnival Cruise Line proudly supports important causes like St. Jude Childrenโ€™s Research Hospitalยฎ and Operation Homefront. indicates external site which may or may not meet accessibility guidelines
