Carnival Corporation, the world’s largest cruise company, announced a new sustainability target to achieve a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 2029, measured on an available lower berth days basis compared to its 2019 baseline. After successfully reaching its 2030 goal five years ahead of schedule – cutting GHG emissions intensity by 20% in 2025 – the company raised its original target an ambitious five percentage points and accelerated its timeline to achieve the goal a full year early in 2029. The efficiency work behind that milestone is also showing up on the bottom line with fuel-efficiency gains on track to save the company roughly $650 million in 2026 alone versus 2019 levels.
