Fourth Annual List Spotlights the Women Shattering Gender Norms and Age Stereotypes Across the Globe

MIAMI – August 22, 2024 – Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, has been named to the fourth annual Forbes 50 Over 50 List in the lifestyle category, showcasing the unstoppable women who have proven that success can be achieved at any age.
The 50 Over 50 List, published annually, is a group of 200 women whose collective power stretches from the deep sea to outer space. The categories - Lifestyle, Impact, Innovation and Investment - shine a light on the leaders and change makers finding tremendous success in the second half of their life. Duffy is the only cruise industry executive, and only one of two in the travel sector, to be named to the list, which includes outstanding women across industry and entertainment.
"I'm honored to be recognized for this prestigious recognition and be among the company of such incredible women," said Duffy. "Over the course of my career, I've been inspired by many great leaders I have had the privilege of working with, and now I try every day to offer that same level of mentorship and lead by example. That's pretty easy to do with our tremendous shipboard and shoreside teams who motivate and inspire me."
Duffy has been blazing a trail in the travel industry for 40 years and counts many "firsts" among her accomplishments. Since 2015, she's been the first female at the helm of Carnival Cruise Line, the flagship brand of Miami-based global cruise industry leader Carnival Corp., the world's largest leisure travel company. She oversees Carnival Cruise Line's fleet of 27 ships that homeport in North America, Europe and Australia and P&O Cruises Australia's three ships that operate in the South Pacific. Together they sail six million guests annually and employ more than 52,000 people hailing from 120 nations.
Duffy is also a member of the board of directors of Aimbridge Hospitality and Herschend Family Entertainment. She serves on the U.S. Commerce Department's Travel and Tourism Advisory Board; is the past chair of the U.S. Travel Association and sits on the Professional Advisory Board of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital of which Carnival Cruise Line is the official celebration partner. Earlier this year, Duffy was inducted into the Cruise Line International Association Hall of Fame and received the Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions to the cruise industry.
