Carnival Corporation has ordered a new ship for its Carnival Cruise Lines brand which will be the third in its Dream class of vessels.
The 130,000-ton ship will be built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri and will enter service in spring 2012.
The unnamed ship will have capacity for 3,690 passengers and feature many of the same facilities as Carnival Dream, which made its debut in September.
These will include a WaterWorks water park with 300ft corkscrew slide, entertainment venue Ocean Plaza, Cloud 9 Spa and Lanai, an outdoor promenade featuring whirlpools that extend out over the ship’s sides.
Already under construction at Fincantieri is Carnival Magic, which will also be a sister ship to Carnival Dream, and will enter service in May 2011.
Gerry Cahill, Carnival Cruise Lines' president and chief executive officer, said: “Carnival Dream is already earning rave reviews from guests and travel agents.
“Ordering a third Dream-class ship speaks volumes about the confidence we have in the continued success of this series.”
How exciting!! Carnival cruises always provide such a memorable and entertaining vacation...the kids love all the fun activities, I love the shopping and being pampered at the spa :P We always take cruises from New York, so we're eagerly awaiting the grand opening of this new ship next year! Thanks for the information!
