Carnival Corporation has reported record-breaking third-quarter financial results, marking its third consecutive quarter of record performance. The company posted revenue of approximately $8.4 billion and net income of $1.9 billion, with adjusted net income reaching $2.0 billion.

Despite a $131 million negative impact from currency fluctuations and rising fuel prices, the company outperformed its own guidance through operational improvements and cost discipline. Customer deposits reached a record $7.6 billion, and the company reported that booking occupancy and pricing for 2027 are at record levels. As a result, Carnival has raised its full-year adjusted earnings guidance.
