Carnival Cruise Lines Launches New 'Corporate University'

- Innovative Professional Enrichment Sessions Enhance Team-Building,
Creativity and Communication Skills for Businesses and Other
Organizations

MIAMI, March 2
Businesses and other organizations wishing to enhance their
communication skills, teamwork and creativity can now tap into the
vast knowledge and expertise of one of the world's most successful
companies -- Carnival Cruise Lines.

The new "Carnival Corporate University" encompasses a series of
professional enrichment seminars that provide insight into the proven
management principles that have made Carnival the most popular cruise
line in the world.

"Carnival has earned its leadership position through an unmatched
combination of superior products and top-notch service delivered by a
highly motivated workforce. With the new 'Carnival Corporate
University,' we are pleased to share our expertise to help businesses
enhance teamwork, build communication skills and celebrate diversity
through fun, interactive activities -- all at a cost that is lower
than most land-based training sessions," said Bob Dickinson, Carnival
president and CEO.

The program, which is available in conjunction with any Carnival
cruise, encompasses a full schedule of custom-designed management
training sessions created by Carnival's award-winning corporate
training department, which conducts in-house training for the
company's 30,000 shipboard and shoreside employees.

The department can also work with businesses to specifically tailor
programming designed to meet individual goals or objectives and
businesses can purchase as many or as few sessions as they want.

Unlike typical shoreside management seminars, "Carnival Corporate
University" classes take an inventive, often unconventional approach,
with thought-provoking seminars where participation is encouraged --
all in a relaxing and memorable environment that is conducive to
learning and team building.

"The courses within 'Carnival Corporate University' go beyond typical
landside training sessions, with enthusiastic facilitators who utilize
role- playing and other instructional methods that engage participants
and ultimately lead to higher retention and greater productivity,"
Dickinson said.

Sample programming includes "Cruising to Communication," focusing on
effective verbal and non-verbal communication techniques; "Win Win,"
an interactive exercise on building and maintaining trust; "Charting
the Course," emphasizing strategies of effective leaders; "Creativity
by Design," which enables participants to harness their creativity
within; and "Passport to Diversity," a celebration of today's
culturally diverse work environment.

When participants are not enrolled in "Carnival Corporate University,"
they are free to enjoy the wide range of "resort-style" amenities and
facilities available aboard the "Fun Ships" -- an array of formal and
casual dining options, numerous dancing, entertainment and live music
venues, including lavish Vegas-style production shows, luxurious spa
facilities, full casino gambling, duty-free shopping, swimming pools
and cascading water slides.

Many Carnival ships also have private conference centers and the
line's public rooms are also available for meetings, awards receptions
and other corporate functions.

Prices for "Carnival Corporate University" vary according to the size
of the group and the number of sessions purchased.

Carnival, a unit of Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE: CCL: LSE)(NYSE:
CUK) is the largest and most popular cruise line in the world, with 20
"Fun Ships" operating voyages of three to 16 days in length to the
Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New
England and Europe.

The line currently has two 110,000-ton SuperLiners -- Carnival Liberty
and Carnival Freedom -- scheduled to enter service between now and
February 2007.
