Navigating to excellence. Engineering innovation.
Welcome to CSMART
Behind every great cruise experience is a highly trained crew keeping ships sailing safely and smoothly.
The Center for Simulation & Maritime Training (CSMART) is the place where maritime professionals of all brands of Carnival Corporation strengthen their skills, adapt to new technologies, and prepare for the demands of a modern fleet.
Since 2009, we’ve supported that mission through hands‑on, simulator based training built around real world operations.
Step into the CSMART Maritime Center and see how advanced simulation, purpose-built facilities, and real world training environments come together to support modern ship operations. This video offers a closer look at the spaces, technology, and people behind our work.
What We Offer
Programs
CSMART’s programs are built for real life at sea. Using advanced technology and real world scenarios, maritime officers and leaders strengthen their technical skills, sharpen judgment, and reinforce their confidence for today’s ship operations.
Simulation Studies
At CSMART, high-fidelity simulators turn “what if?” into actual scenarios and tests. Complex scenarios are run to evaluate risk, enhance decision-making and explore solutions, before they ever reach the ship.
Educational Philosophy
We believe the best learning happens when it’s practical, realistic and shared. Our approach is grounded in real operations, constant improvement and collaboration across industry, academia and technology partners.
Competency-Based Learning (OCP Program)
At CSMART, we know that no two officers take the same path and training shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. That’s why our Officer Career Pathway (OCP) program is built around competency-based learning, meeting officers where they are in their careers and giving them what they need to grow. Through tailored courses for deck, engine and electrical officers, OCP supports career progression by focusing on the right skills at the right time. Helping officers build confidence, capability and readiness as they move forward.
Medical Center
We are pleased to offer complimentary health screenings; an essential benefit found in world-class organizations. These proactive exams help safeguard health by detecting early signs of illness and supporting a successful career at sea.
Working at CSMART
CSMART is where deep maritime expertise meets hands-on learning. Our teams work on advanced training and research that actually shows up on ships around the world and we’re always looking for curious, collaborative people who like solving real problems together.
