Carnival Corporation inked a new agreement for a fifth Excel-class cruise ship for namesake Carnival Cruise Line brand.

It will be built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany and is set for a 2028 delivery.

Last month Carnival Corp announced its first newbuild order in five years with a fourth Excel-class ship joining the Carnival Cruise Line fleet in 2027.

This announcement confirms an 11th Excel-class ship order for Carnival’s combined fleet across four of its brands.

“Carnival’s Excel-class fleet will soon be a quintet of these very popular ships with tremendous operating efficiencies,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

“Since the introduction of Mardi Gras in 2021 and expansion with Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee, these Excel-class ships are driving excitement and demand.”

With the impending arrival of Carnival Firenze in April, it marks the addition of five ships to CCL fleet in less than 20 months.

This fifth Excel-class ship will be a 180,000-ton ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and designed to accommodate over 6,400 guests and 1,800 crew.

“This new order continues to balance our commitment to growth with our responsible capital approach,” said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc.
