Carnival Corporation & plc Announces New $4.5 Billion Revolving Credit
Facility to Upsize and Extend the Company's Revolver Capacity
MIAMI, June 16, 2025 -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK)
(the "Company") today announced that it has successfully arranged a new $4.5
billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "New Revolver"). The New
Revolver matures in June 2030 and will replace the existing multi-currency
revolving credit facility of Carnival Holdings (Bermuda) II Limited, a
subsidiary of Carnival Corporation. The New Revolver also contains an
accordion feature, allowing for up to $1.0 billion of additional revolving
commitments.
"This 50 percent increase in our revolver meaningfully enhances our liquidity,
providing opportunities to continue accelerating our debt reduction efforts,"
said David Bernstein, Chief Financial Officer. "Securing this significant
upsize and extension to our revolver, on more favorable terms, also reflects
confidence in our continued performance and achieves another milestone toward
rebuilding our financial fortress."
According to Bernstein, the New Revolver is a testament to the Company's
continued business improvement and strong banking relationships.
The New Revolver will be unsecured and initially guaranteed on an unsecured
basis by the same subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Company's
senior secured term loan facilities. Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc,
each as a borrower, are entering into the New Revolver with a global syndicate
of financial institutions and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative
agent.
