Carnival Corporation has announced plans to consolidate its US shoreside staff into a new headquarters in Miami in 2028Â
The new property, located in Miami’s Waterford Business District just south of Miami International Airport, will be able to accommodate 2,000 team members.
When complete in 2028, the HQ will become the company’s main North America office and, for the first time, unite in a single location most of its North America shoreside team members from its Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, Cunard and Costa Cruises brands.
In addition to the team members working in the company’s existing Miami-Dade office, the combined North America operations will bring together team members previously dispersed throughout other locations and regions.
The move comes just weeks after the cruise conglomerate announced plans to close Carnival Cruise Line’s UK office this month, which subsequently led to the cancellation of a trade ship visit event in Dover this summer.
Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation, said: “Co-locating our North America shoreside team members on a shared campus – designed from the ground up to support how we work and what we do – will foster even greater knowledge sharing, innovation, efficiency and career growth.”
“We look forward to further leveraging our scale by bringing our teams closer together to supercharge collaboration and support our delivery of unforgettable happiness to our over 13 million guests by providing extraordinary cruise vacations, while honoring the integrity of every ocean we sail, place we visit and life we touch.”
The campus will include 600,000-700,000 square feet of workspace across the headquarters building, as well as an onboard entertainment training and rehearsal facility.
Details of the transaction were not disclosed and additional information about the new headquarters will be announced as design and development gets underway.
