Carnival Corporation to Build New Global Headquarters in Miami

Carnival Corporation announced on May 5, 2025, the purchase of property in Miami’s Waterford Business District to develop its new global headquarters. The campus, slated for completion in 2028, will unite over 2,000 North America shoreside employees from Carnival Cruise Line, Princess, Holland America, Seabourn, Cunard, and Costa into one modern, collaborative workplace.

The planned headquarters will include 600,000–700,000 square feet of office and training space, designed to enhance innovation, teamwork, and adaptability, with open areas, private workspaces, and high-tech infrastructure. The project reinforces Carnival’s 50+ year commitment to Miami-Dade County and is expected to add hundreds of high-paying jobs.

State and local leaders, including Florida's Secretary of Commerce and Miami-Dade’s Mayor, welcomed the investment, calling it a strategic move that strengthens Miami’s status as a global business and cruise hub. The site, near Miami International Airport, places Carnival within a thriving business corridor rich in infrastructure and talent.
