Carnival Corporation Q1 2025 financial results
FinanceCarnival Corporation & plc announced financial results for the first quarter 2025. Record first quarter revenues of USD 5.8 billion, up over USD 400 million compared to the prior year. Record first quarter adjusted EBITDA of USD 1.2 billion increased 38 percent compared to 2024 and outperformed December guidance by USD 165 million. Booking volumes taken during the first quarter for 2026 and beyond reached record levels. Passengers carried reached 3.2 million in the quarter, up from 3.0.
"Our first quarter was truly characterized by outperformance. This was across the board and led by incredibly strong demand throughout our portfolio including exceptional close-in demand that exceeded expectations for both ticket prices and onboard spending," commented Carnival Corporation & plc's Chief Executive Officer Josh Weinstein.
"While we are not completely immune from the heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility since providing our December guidance, we are still taking up our earnings expectations for the year and we remain on track to have another stellar year across our cruise brands. This raise incorporates our increased first quarter yield results and reduced interest expense thanks to our recent successful refinancings. We are also affirming our December yield guidance for the remainder of 2025, as our booking curve continues to be the farthest out on record, at record prices (in constant currency), onboard spending is robust and we have proven to be incredibly resilient," Weinstein continued.
"We are delivering amazing vacation experiences every day in a time when people all over the world are placing increasing importance on experiences, particularly those spent with family and friends. Our value for money is truly a strength when people look to make their vacation dollars go further," said Weinstein.
