Here at Cruise Hive, we often report on what’s going on across the cruise fleets owned by Carnival Corporation. We all know cruise ships are evolving and new ones are coming out, but it’s also the company’s ambitions on land that are expanding!
Carnival announced on Monday that it has broken ground on its brand-new, state-of-the-art global headquarters in Miami, Florida. There is no shiny new building just yet, but it does mean that official construction is now underway.
The new campus is being constructed at the Waterfront Business District with the address of 887 Carnival Place. This is approximately 5-7 miles away from the cruise company’s current offices in Doral, just west of Miami International Airport.
“Breaking ground at 887 Carnival Place feels less like a beginning and more like a natural next step in proudly carrying forward our 50+-year South Florida legacy as we create the foundation for our next chapter here,” said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation.
Once completed in 2028, Carnival’s new headquarters will be able to cater to 2,000 employees acoss it’s cruise brands. Carnival says the facility will bring all of its North America cruise brands under one roof. The company’s current brands on the continent include Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, and Seabourn.
“This campus embodies the intersection of our commitment to the team members who propel us and the guests who inspire us. We are especially honored by Miami-Dade’s ‘Carnival Place Day’ proclamation and are grateful to the county that championed us from the start as we continue to grow in the place we call home,” added Weinstein.
Within the 700,000-square-foot campus will be a range of training and rehearsal facilities for its entertainment personnel, along with a wide range of meeting rooms and team spaces, which will remain adaptable and scalable. There will also be plenty of green space for workers to take in the Florida sunshine!
Cruise Hive will keep readers updated as the new Carnival headquarters takes shape over the coming months and years. No doubt the company will also provide updates as further construction milestones are reached.
