Carnival confirms new mega ship order
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.
