Call it a three-peat on the water.

For the third consecutive year, Carnival Corporation has been named one of the world’s best employers.

The designation was made by Forbes magazine.

More than 700 international employers were in the running for the recognition. Factors included cultivating a positive work environment and work-life balance were considered.

The survey was determined by interviews and questionnaires with more than 170,000 workers from 55 countries. Employees were anonymously asked to rate where they work. Carnival itself employs more than 160,000 workers from 150 different countries. 

Only the top 700 companies were recognized as being part of the World’s Best Employers list by Forbes. According to the magazine, there were several thousand companies who were considered. 

“Our highly talented global team of shipboard and shoreside employees are at the heart of everything we do and we want to make sure we are fostering an environment where people from all different backgrounds, experiences and walks of life can thrive,” said Bettina Deynes, global chief human resources officer for Carnival Corporation. 

“As we continue to prioritize a positive company culture and drive initiatives to grow each of our team members’ careers, we are honored to be recognized once again by Forbes for our efforts and commitment to be the employer of choice for hospitality, travel and leisure careers,” Deynes continued. 

Carnival Cruise Line provided an update on its 2025 deployment, including a selection of European cruises onboard the Carnival Miracle and 100 cruises with visitation to the cruise line’s exclusive destination, Celebration Key. 

During the summer of 2025, the Carnival Miracle will sail sixteen cruises from three homeports in Europe, including Lisbon, Portugal; Dover, U.K. and Civitavecchia, Italy. Itineraries range from 9-15 days and include destinations spanning Europe, from the British Isles to Northern Europe and the Baltic and down to the Mediterranean.
