Carnival Aims To Move Incorporation To Bermuda
Carnival Corporation aims to move its legal incorporation to Bermuda, subject to approvals.
As part of their latest business filing the company said, “Carnival Corporation also proposes shifting its legal incorporation from Panama to Bermuda under the name Carnival Corporation Ltd., a jurisdiction widely recognized and aligned with international financial standards. There will be no material changes to the company’s business fundamentals, including strategy, underlying assets and operations or to the company’s commitment to the vital UK market. The unification and legal incorporation in Bermuda are expected to preserve key shareholder voting and economic rights.
“These proposals will be subject to certain conditions, including the approval of shareholders and receipt of regulatory and UK court approvals. Additional shareholder materials are expected to be provided to Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc shareholders in February 2026. The company intends to hold meetings of shareholders in April 2026 to consider the proposals.
“Subject to shareholders approving the proposals and the remaining conditions being satisfied, the company intends to complete the unification and legal incorporation in Bermuda in the second quarter of 2026. More information on the proposed unification and legal incorporation in Bermuda will be included in materials Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC], which will be available without charge on the SEC’s website.”
