Carnival began operations with the ex-British liners Empress of Britain, Empress of Canada and Transvaal Castle, and went on to become the world's largest cruise line, owning Holland America, Cunard, Princess, P&O and Costa. They also bought a 25% interest in Airtours, although this share was subsequently sold.
