Carnival: Europe to Match Caribbean as Largest Deployment Region in 2027
Europe will tie the Caribbean as Carnival Corporation’s largest deployment region in 2027, with each accounting for 34 percent of capacity, according to the company’s third-quarter earnings presentation.
It marks the first time Europe has matched the Caribbean, CEO Josh Weinstein said during the company’s earnings call. In 2026, the Caribbean accounted for 35 percent of capacity and Europe 31 percent.
The shift comes as Carnival leans further into Northern Europe, where Weinstein said guest interest continued to grow in cooler-weather destinations and outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring the Norwegian fjords and seeing the Northern Lights.
