Carnival Corp plans to sell 13 vessels worth at least $1bn but is actually removing only 11 ships from its entire fleet, according to VesselsValue.
The Arnold Donald-led owner of 105 ships said it wanted to become a "leaner" company after losing billions of dollars amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It said it plans to sell nine ships in the next 90 days and has already sold four other ships prior to fiscal 2020, which began on 1 December.
