Carnival, today the CEO of the American group, Josh
Weinstein, explained that "since May, the trend of
bookings continued to strengthen, with booking volumes
higher than last year and with a growth of
far exceeding capacity growth. This
- he underlined - confirms the success of the efforts of the
bands to generate demand and the extraordinary experiences that
continue to offer, fueling excess demand and a
constant strengthening of prices. With almost half of 2026
booked, in line with the record levels of 2025 in the same
period of the last year, but now at prices - at constant currency -
historically high for both our North America and
Europe - Weinstein underlined - we have built a solid
business base for the next year. Looking further ahead,
2027 is already off to a great start, reaching volumes
of record bookings in the third quarter".
