Carnival Corporation & plc will publish its second quarter interims on 24 June. These cover three months to the end of May as the company’s fiscal year starts on 1 December.

The interim result release and subsequent conference call are likely to cast light on recent concerns that ticket prices could be softening in the wake of accelerating inflation, which is reaching multi-decade highs in many countries.

 Shares in leading listed cruise shipping companies have suffered from these concerns plus general turmoil on the equity markets and they have hit or courted 52 week lows in recent weeks.
