Carnival Corporation & plc is a British-American cruise operator, structured as two dual-listed companies, Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc, that function as a single business under one management team, with headquarters in Miami, Florida, and London, England. The company is the largest cruise line operator in the world by passengers carried, tracing its origin to Carnival Cruise Line, founded in 1972 by Israeli-American businessman Ted Arison after he acquired a single aging ocean liner and relaunched it as the Mardi Gras. Carnival Corporation & plc has since grown into a parent company for a portfolio of cruise brands beyond Carnival Cruise Line itself, including Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Cunard, among others.
