Saturday, 19 Dec, 2006 0

Carnival Corporation has exercised an option for a 565 million euros mega cruise ship.

The 130,000-ton ship with a capacity for more than 3,600 passengers will enter service with Carnival Cruise Lines in summer 2010.

It will be a sister ship to a previously announced 130,000-ton vessel due to enter service in 2009 that will begin a new class for the line. They will be the largest built for Carnival Cruise Lines.  

Carnival now has four new ships on order or under construction – part of the parent company’s 19 vessels on order.

Carnival president and CEO Bob Dickinson said the new ships “represent the most spacious and innovative design ever created for a Carnival ‘Fun Ship’.”

The “groundbreaking” class of ship will introduce a host of new facilities and features, he added.
