Ted Arison launched Carnival in 1972 with a single second-hand ship, the Mardi Gras, which famously ran aground on its maiden voyage. Fifty years later it's the largest single cruise brand in the world by passenger count, known for a casual, budget-friendly 'Fun Ship' identity, and the founding brand of Carnival Corporation & plc.
