Carnival: Robust Monetization Prospects From Growing Fleet, Private Islands, Loyalty Program
CCL has reported the durable consumer demand for cruising, as observed in the raised FY2025 guidance and the management achieving the 2026 SEA Change targets 18 months ahead of schedule. This is on top of the excellent 2026 booking trends at higher prices and the growing customer deposits, significantly aided by the increased close-in demand. These reasons are also why CCL has felt confident to increase its investments in its new fleet through 2033 and private islands through 2026.
