Cruise company Carnival Corporation has announced plans to “accelerate” the sale of ships – with agreements already in place to sell six os its vessels.
The company said it expected these six ships to leave the fleet “in the next 90 days” and added that it was “currently working toward additional agreements” to sell more ships.
Carnival, which owns brands such as Cunard, P&O, Princess and Holland America, said it planned to resume cruises in a “phased manner”, with initial sailings from a “select number of easily accessible homeports”, although it stressed it was “unable to definitively predict when it will return to normal operations”.
“The company expects future capacity to be moderated by the phased re-entry of its ships, the removal of capacity from its fleet and delays in new ship deliveries,” added Carnival as it announced its second quarter financial results.
