Carnival Corp., the world’s largest cruise operator, will bring its Carnival and Aida lines to China in 2017, doubling the number of brands it offers in one of the world’s fastest-growing tourism markets.
The two lines will enter the Chinese market starting that year, Chief Executive Officer Arnold Donald said Tuesday on Bloomberg Television. The company’s Costa division entered China in 2006 and Princess Cruises started sailing there last year.
