Carnival Corporation, the cruise line company, is establishing operations soon in Right to Work Miami, Florida. However, this is no ordinary new location. The plan is to also set this up as its new global headquarters, starting in 2028.
From Area Development Magazine:
“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.” […]
“Under Governor DeSantis’ leadership, Florida’s pro-business mindset and strategic location as a gateway to important international markets have made our state the ideal home base for international businesses like Carnival Corporation. […] Carnival Corporation’s investment in a new headquarters campus in Miami is a win for Florida generated through partnerships with private sector partners like the Miami-Dade Beacon Council, reinforcing Florida’s position as number one in the global cruise industry—underscoring how Florida’s robust infrastructure, skilled workforce and resilient economy instills confidence in job creators and job seekers.”
“Carnival Corporation’s headquarters expansion is more than growth—it’s a strategic investment in Miami’s future. It reflects our region’s appeal as a global business hub with unmatched infrastructure, diverse talent, and cultural connectivity. Carnival Corporation’s deep roots here make this decision both logical and visionary. Miami offers more than favorable economics—it offers a dynamic ecosystem where innovation, opportunity, and quality of life intersect. We’re proud to support Carnival Corporation’s continued global leadership from right here in Miami-Dade County.”
