The Manager, Global Travel Sourcing leads sourcing and supplier-management strategies for Carnival Corporation’s worldwide business travel needs. Responsibilities typically include negotiating airline, hotel, ground transportation, and travel-management agreements; analyzing spend and market trends; managing vendor performance; supporting contract renewals; and identifying cost savings without reducing traveler experience. Candidates are expected to have several years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, travel management, or a related field, with strong negotiation, analytical, communication, and project-management skills. Experience with global suppliers, travel programs, contracts, and procurement systems is valuable. The role requires commercial judgment, attention to detail, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to work effectively with stakeholders across multiple countries and time zones.
Carnival Corporation & plc is one of the world’s largest leisure travel companies and the parent organization of leading cruise brands including Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, Costa Cruises, Cunard, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises, and P&O Cruises Australia. Its global fleet serves millions of guests each year across destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, Asia, Australia, and beyond. The company operates cruise ships, ports, destinations, travel services, and supporting corporate functions. Carnival’s corporate teams help manage purchasing, finance, technology, marketing, human resources, guest services, and worldwide operations. The company is headquartered in Miami, Florida, and employs people both at sea and ashore. Its work environment generally emphasizes international collaboration, commercial performance, guest satisfaction, safety, compliance, and delivering memorable vacation experiences.
Working on a cruise ship offers opportunities in guest services, housekeeping, food and beverage, entertainment, marine operations, retail, engineering, healthcare, and administration. Crew members work with colleagues from many countries, creating a highly multicultural environment where teamwork, respect, and adaptability are essential. Life onboard is structured and fast-paced, with long shifts, shared accommodation, crew dining areas, recreational facilities, and limited but regular time ashore. Most cruise employees need a valid passport, a medical examination, required safety training, and a crew or seafarer visa depending on the ship’s itinerary and nationality. Some positions may require visas such as the U.S. C-1/D visa. Relocation is usually arranged through the employer or a crewing agency, with contracts commonly lasting several months. Accommodation and meals are generally provided, while personal travel, documentation, and some medical costs may remain the employee’s responsibility.
