Carnival Cruise Line

The next wave of talent—introducing our 2025 summer interns! A total of 56 interns were welcomed at HQ to kick off their shipboard and shoreside summer internship programs, starting in May through the end of July. Both groups will be contributing to a wide range of departments across Carnival Cruise Line and Carnival Corp., bringing fresh ideas from more than 25 universities across the U.S. Over the next 10 weeks, interns will have the opportunity to connect and collaborate through team building activities along with an overall hands-on learning experience working closely with their respective teams, preparing them for their professional journey. We’re excited to see the impact these students will make at Carnival and are proud to support the next generation of talent!

Our Carnival Splendor team successfully rescued four people and three dogs stranded on a disabled catamaran in the South Pacific. Immediately after receiving a distress call from the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Noumea, the ship headed towards the location and was able to reach the vessel five hours later to complete the rescue. The two couples and their three dogs were safely welcomed onto Carnival Splendor and are receiving food, water and medical assistance. This rescue highlights the courage, compassion and professionalism that define our team.

Today marks International Women in Maritime Day, and we're recognizing the incredible contributions of women in our industry! ⚓ With this year's theme—an ocean of opportunities for women—we celebrate the women, shipboard to shoreside, at Carnival that are making a splash and setting new standards of excellence. "Being closely involved in the technical aspects of ship systems, especially the engines, which I consider the heart of the ship, is what I enjoy most," added Diesel Engine Manager Matilde Domenicucci. "For women interested in this field, believe in your skills and take on challenges. The maritime world is evolving, and there’s never been a better time for women to make their mark in shaping its future." Together, we are inspiring greater female involvement in the maritime industry. Squadron Leader Priya Chanu (Retd) Elif Türkmen Uğur Kinley Gaudette Matilde Domenicucci Louise Sara MNM Irene Sallemi

At this year's 10th Annual Galveston Island Tourism Summit, our VP of Port Operations David Candib, MBA joined CEO of the Galveston Island Park Board of Trustees Kimberly Danesi, Port of Galveston CEO and Port Director Rodger E. Rees, and SSA Marine Regional VP Rob Henkel. Panelists addressed cruise operations, port infrastructure, destination development and the overall success of Galveston Wharves at Port of Galveston—underscoring the importance of partnerships, innovation and sustainability in delivering exceptional experiences to 1.7 million cruisers last year. Carnival Cruise Line continues to be the market leader in Galveston and was the first cruise operator to embark 10 million guests from the port last year. Later this year, Carnival will celebrate 25 years of sailing from Galveston! 🤠

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, according to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA). Our Benefits & Wellness team is on trend as they offered an onsite pickleball clinic to our Carnival HQ team members! Beginners learned the fundamentals while more experienced players fine-tuned their technique through expert instruction and friendly matches. It was a great reminder that teamwork makes both the game and the workplace even better. 🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who joined in! Who’s ready for the next round?
