The investment firm highlighted several factors contributing to Carnival&#8217;s favorable outlook for 2024.

The company&#8217;s destination capacity is expected to increase from approximately 5.7 million in 2023 to around 10 million by 2028. Specifically, Celebration Key is projected to contribute a net yield increase of approximately 1.8% and an EBITDA uplift of $100 million on an annualized basis.<\/p>\n<p>The financial institution further commented on Carnival&#8217;s financial position, forecasting substantial balance sheet improvement. According to Goldman Sachs&#8217; estimates, Carnival is set to reduce its leverage from 6.7 times as of the fiscal year 2023 to less than 3.5 times by the fiscal year 2026. This anticipated de-leveraging is seen as a strong move towards financial stability for the cruise operator.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.
