Third-quarter revenues reached an all-time high of $7.9 billion, up $1.0 billion from the previous year, with operating income of $2.2 billion exceeding 2023 levels by $554 million. Due to strong demand and cost-saving opportunities, Carnival raised its full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance to approximately $6.0 billion, reflecting an increase of over 40 percent compared to 2023 and nearly $200 million above the June guidance. The cumulative advanced booked position for the full year 2025 is already above the 2024 record, with prices ahead of the previous year. CEO Josh Weinstein attributed the impressive results to high-margin, same-ship yield growth and a 26 percent improvement in unit operating income, the highest in fifteen years. The company expects to deliver record operating performance for the full year 2024, with adjusted EBITDA expected to cross $6 billion and an adjusted return on invested capital of approximately 10.5 percent.
