Carnival Cruise Line — “The World's Most Popular Cruise Line®” — was founded in 1972 and now carries millions of guests every year. Carnival was the first-ever cruise line to reach the milestone of having sailed 100 million guests!
Carnival is proud to be part of a family of companies owned by Carnival Corporation Ltd., which includes sister lines Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, Costa Cruises and Cunard Line among others.
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 world’s most beautiful seaports.
29 ships currently 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. — with 13 domestic homeports, two in Australia, plus seasonal sailings from Europe. While best known for Caribbean cruises, Carnival sails to other exotic, amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Hawaii, the South Pacific, New Zealand and Asia.
