Carnival Corporation has been named to two of Forbes’ 2026 lists of America’s best employers, recognizing the company for both its workplace culture and its appeal to recent graduates. The company appears on Forbes’ America’s Best Employers for Company Culture list at No. 390 and on the America’s Best Employers for New Grads list at No. 125, and says it is the top-ranked cruise company on both rankings.

Marella Cruises has expanded its Mediterranean excursion program with nine new tours designed to offer more culturally immersive, small-group experiences in key ports. The new options range from tuk-tuk sightseeing in Olbia and a food tour in Athens to wine-tasting in Kefalonia and coastline drives along the Amalfi Coast.

The new 998-passenger Viking Mira will launch its maiden season in early June with a seven-night Western Mediterranean cruise from Civitavecchia, following delivery to Viking from Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard. As the 13th oceangoing ship in Viking’s series that began with Viking Star in 2015, Mira’s inaugural program focuses on Mediterranean itineraries before expanding to other regions.
