Carnival Corporation expects to put the vast majority of its ships in prolonged layups during the global pause of its cruise operations resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. During this time, the ships will be manned by a limited crew, costing approximately USD 1 million per month. Some ships will be put in a warm layup and will be manned by a full crew, costing between USD 2 million – USD 3 million per month. Due to the overall situation, the company believes deliveries of its new build vessels will also be delayed.
