Carnival Resumes Cruising In US, Caribbean And Europe; Adds Two Additional Ships To Fleet by 2023

Carnival Corp CCL has announced plans from eight cruise line brands to resume guest cruise operations in the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe.
AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK), and Seabourn sailing are the brands that are expected to start operations.
The brands will resume operations using a gradual, phased-in approach, with sailings announced on 42 ships to date through the end of the fiscal year 2021, representing 52% of the company’s total capacity across its global fleet of 91 cruise ships.
“The broader restart of cruising marks a critical step in the recovery of our brands and the industry as a whole, which provides a major economic impact and supports jobs across multiple sectors around the world,” said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer.
Carnival has also announced it will grow its fleet by two additional ships by 2023.
Price action: CCL shares are trading higher by 0.36% at $28.15 on the last check Wednesday.
