Carnival Cruise Line Expecting Their Biggest Summer Ever

Nearly two million guests will board a Carnival cruise ship this summer as the cruise line gears up for a record breaking season.

Carnival Cruise Line not only has more cruise ships in service than any other cruise line, but they sail from more homeports in the U.S, than anyone else.

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2025, nearly two million passengers will sail on a Carnival cruise.

Here is a look at some interesting stats from Carnival’s upcoming summer season.

• More than 1,200 port visits to nearly 100 different ports
• 2.8 million Guy’s Burgers
• 2.4 million slices of pizza
• 13 ice cream cones
• 1.3 million glasses of wine
• 4.4 million beers served
• Over 80 visits to Celebration Key

Celebration Key is Carnival Cruise Line’s new private port that will open on July 19, 2025. This new destination on Grand Bahama Island will be visited by 15 different Carnival ship this summer.

Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, gave the following statement:

“Summer is the busiest time for travel and Carnival Cruise Line is poised for one of our largest summer cruise schedules ever. Many Americans are within a five-hour drive of one of our 13 U.S. homeports, so they can easily access one of our fun-filled cruises.

“With most meals, entertainment and other activities included, a Carnival cruise represents a significant value over land-based vacations.

“This summer is set to be especially memorable as we open Celebration Key on Grand Bahama, our game-changing destination that will deliver the ultimate day in paradise for our guests.”
