Carnival Corporation collaborated with government and industry partners to introduce Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering to Latin America and the Western Caribbean, using a mobile LNG fueling solution to refuel Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Jubilee at Isla Tropicale in Roatán, Honduras. The operation brings a new maritime fueling capability to the region and reinforces Roatán's growing role within Carnival Corporation's Caribbean operations, positioning Isla Tropicale along key Western Caribbean itineraries. Roatán's location allows LNG-capable ships to refuel with minimal disruption to their routes, helping optimize schedules and voyage planning.

The achievement also supports Carnival Corporation's broader decarbonization strategy, with LNG serving as one of several tools to reduce its emissions footprint while pursuing net zero greenhouse gas emissions from ship operations by 2050. LNG is currently one of the most readily available, proven and commercially scalable lower-emission fuels for the maritime industry ? reducing direct carbon emissions by up to 20% and almost fully avoiding emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter.

Carnival Corporation pioneered LNG use in the cruise industry in 2018 and now leads the industry with 11 LNG-capable cruise ships in operation. By the end of 2033, the company expects seven additional LNG-capable ships to join the fleet.
