Compiled from a detailed analysis of more than 10,000 U.S. companies, Inc.'s inaugural listing recognized the top 250 best-led public and private companies in America based on leadership and management excellence. Companies were analyzed to identify standout organizations according to their leadership teams' superlative accomplishments in four key areas, including performance and value creation; market penetration and customer engagement; talent; and leadership team.

Carnival Corporation – whose nine popular cruise line brands include namesake Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn in the U.S., along with AIDA Cruises, Cunard, Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises UK and P&O Cruises Australia – was the only cruise-specific company recognized on the list. The full list of the Best-Led Companies of 2021 is available on Inc.'s website.

"As a company, we make it a priority to provide a positive and supportive work environment for all our colleagues, guided by our highest responsibility and top priority, which is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we visit and our shipboard and shoreside personnel."

The recognition from Inc. as one of the best-led companies in America builds on recent recognitions Carnival Corporation has earned for its companywide operations. This includes several recent honors from Forbes based on the publication's listings of the World's Best Employers and the World's Top Female-Friendly Companies of 2021, as well as America's Best Large Employers of 2021, Best Employers for Diversity for 2020 and America's Best Employers for Women in 2020.
