All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Recent months have been unprecedented for cruise liners. Travel restrictions, sailing suspensions, falling consumer confidence and a slew of negative press are just some of the issues cruise operators are having to contend with. As the industry’s largest player, Carnival is severely impacted.
Key Highlights
– Carnival has suspended operations throughout the summer months, usually a very busy time for cruise operators. This reduction in bookings has resulted in a revenue plummet, a drop in consumer confidence and knock on impacts to the jobs sector and onto cruise-dependent countries such as in the Caribbean.
– Carnival will suffer from the negative media impact that COVID-19 has created, regarding the cruise industry as a whole and also to Carnival’s brands.
– Carnival stocks and shares have plummeted in price by almost 80%, and the financial impact that Carnival will experience will be prolonged for many years.
– Carnival has extended its cancellation policy to adapt to impacted travelers on suspended sailings. Customers are encouraged to accept Future Cruise Credit (FCC) to rebook a sailing for later on in 2020 or 2021, rather than a cash refund.
– Carnival has raised over $6 billion (USD) in liquidity via multiple methods in order to offset the financial impact that COVID-19 will have.
Scope
– This case study looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting Carnival and assesses the company's response.
