Carnival Cruises

Carnival Cruise Line, founded in 1972 by Ted Arison, began with the goal of making cruise vacations accessible to the average traveler. The company launched with a single ship, the Mardi Gras, and quickly gained popularity for its fun, casual atmosphere at sea. Carnival’s innovative approach helped revolutionize the cruise industry by offering affordable, inclusive packages focused on entertainment and relaxation. With a fleet of over 20 ships, the line offers voyages to popular destinations such as the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Europe, and the Bahamas. Carnival cruises are known for their festive onboard experiences, which include live shows, water parks, themed parties, casinos, diverse dining options, and youth programs for families.

Recently, Carnival Cruise Line has introduced newer, more sustainable ships, like the Carnival Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, both powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). These ships also feature innovative attractions such as the first roller coaster at sea and immersive dining experiences. In terms of recent updates, Carnival continues to expand and modernize its fleet. The newest addition, Carnival Jubilee, also runs on LNG and includes advanced technology for guest convenience and environmental efficiency. 

With over five decades in the business, Carnival Cruise Line remains a leader in leisure travel, constantly evolving to meet the expectations of modern travelers while staying true to its fun-filled roots.
