**Carnival Corporation Orders Two Next-Generation AIDA Cruises Ships for 2030 and 2032 Delivery**

Carnival Corporation has finalized an agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build two next-generation ships for AIDA Cruises, set for delivery in fiscal years 2030 and 2032. The vessels will feature around 2,100 cabins each and represent a new class of mid-sized ships that bridge the gap between AIDA's existing Hyperion and Helios classes.

The ships will be powered by multi-fuel-capable engines, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), and will be ready to use low- and zero-carbon fuels as they become more available. These new builds will enhance AIDA’s leadership in the German cruise market and support Carnival’s commitment to sustainable growth.

The announcement brings Carnival’s newbuild pipeline to eight ships scheduled through 2033, with the majority allocated to high-performing brands like AIDA and Carnival Cruise Line. Design and itinerary details will be released later, and the order is subject to final financing expected later this year.
