These ports have been strategic points boosting the company’s services, while generating increasing revenues and contributing with considerable economic impact across all 14 locations.
Carnival president Christine Duffy added:
“Carnival set the pace for the industry as the first major cruise line to return to full guest operations in the U.S., and we continue to lead as we now have welcomed three million guests who have enjoyed much-needed vacations. The economic benefit to our home-ports and destinations is also significant and we are looking forward to restarting cruise operations in Australia this October.”
