Carnival Cruise Line's new flagship, Carnival Horizon, was presented today at the Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. Carnival Corporation Chairman Micky Arison as well as Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy attended the ceremony.
A sister ship to the Carnival Vista, the 3,954-passenger Carnival Horizon features an IMAX Theatre, craft brewery and smokehouse, tepanyaki restaurant, ropes course and Dr. Seuss-themed water park.
And that's not to mention the Havana staterooms and suites, which include exclusive daytime access to a Cuban-themed bar and pool.
Grammy award-winner and actress Queen Latifah will christen the ship in New York City on May 23. Thereafter, Carnival Horizon will operate Mediterranean sailings out of Barcelona. She'll move to New York for a series of Bermuda and Caribbean cruises before beginning six-night Caribbean sailings from Miami in the fall.
Another Vista-class vessel, Carnival Panorama, debuts in 2019. She'll operate year-round from Southern California.
