The president and chief executive of Carnival Corporation has praised the organisation’s agent partners for playing a "critical role" in the brand’s "phenomenal" start to 2023.

Speaking during a business update on Monday (27 March) following the company’s Q1 financial results covering the three months to 28 February, Josh Weinstein said the organisation has capitalised on pent-up demand for cruise through enhanced advertising efforts in North America, Europe and the UK. 

"This has been helped by our agent partners, who remain a critical part of our new-to-cruise business," he added.

"I’m delighted the trade is showing a real bounce-back, with several of our brands exceeding their 2019 agent booking levels as we continue to support our trade partners with increased training and investment."
