Item 7.01Regulation FD.

On April 21, 2025, Carnival Corporation (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption for $350.0 million outstanding principal amount of its $1.4 billion 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Unsecured Notes”) to be redeemed on May 1, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the 2026 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. This redemption is a continuation of the Company’s strategy to deleverage and reduce interest expense. This current report does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Unsecured Notes.

The Company is furnishing the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K to comply with Regulation FD. Such information shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
