Carnival Holds One-to-Two-Ship Newbuild Cadence Into the 2030s

During the quarter the company placed orders for three new Princess Cruises ships scheduled for delivery in 2035, 2038 and 2039, Weinstein said.

The orders bring Carnival’s total orderbook to 10 ships, including five for Carnival Cruise Line and two for AIDA.

Carnival Corporation will hold to its one-to-two-ships-per-year newbuild cadence into the next decade, even as it expects to keep ordering vessels for delivery in the 2030s, President and CEO Josh Weinstein said on the company’s second-quarter 2026 earnings call June 23.
