Story Highlights
Carnival Reduces Interest Costs with New Debt Offering

Carnival ( (CCL) ) just unveiled an update.

On February 28, 2025, Carnival Corporation closed a private offering of $1.0 billion in senior unsecured notes with a 5.750% interest rate, maturing in 2030. The proceeds were used to redeem existing 10.500% senior unsecured notes, reducing the company’s interest expense by over 4.5%, which is expected to lower annual interest costs by approximately $45 million. This strategic financial maneuver is part of Carnival’s ongoing efforts to manage debt and reduce interest expenses, potentially improving its financial health and operational flexibility.
