In plain English
Carnival is the world's largest cruise company — a fleet of ~90 ships and nine brands (Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Costa, AIDA, P&O, Cunard, Seabourn) that carry ~13M guests a year to 700+ ports. It earns money two ways: the ticket you pay to board, and everything you spend onboard once you're there (drinks, excursions, casino). After surviving a pandemic that piled on ~$30B of debt, the 2025 story is record profit, rapid deleveraging to investment-grade leverage, and a reinstated dividend.
