Carnival Corp. has big plans for the future with the unveiling of three massive ships starting in 2029. These new ships are set to be part of a brand new ship class at Carnival Cruise Line. At full capacity, each ship is expected to carry nearly 8,000 guests, measuring a whopping 230,000 gross tons, and featuring over 3,000 guest staterooms. This marks a significant increase in size compared to their latest Excel-class ship, the Carnival Jubilee.
Collaboration with Fincantieri
Partnering with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, Carnival Corp. is set to bring these groundbreaking ships to life. The ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas, showcasing the company’s commitment to eco-friendly technology. These new vessels will be the largest ever built by Fincantieri and in Italy as a whole. The first ship is scheduled for release in the summer of 2029, followed by two more in 2031 and 2033, pending the finalization of financing later this year.
This ambitious ship order comes at a time when Carnival Cruise Line is experiencing unprecedented levels of demand. President of Carnival Cruise Line, Christine Duffy, emphasized that the next class of ships will prioritize creating innovative and unforgettable guest experiences. With the addition of five new ships announced this year alone, Carnival is set to reshape the cruise industry landscape.
CEO of Carnival Corp., Josh Weinstein, highlighted the company’s strategic approach to growth. By steadily increasing capacity with one to two new ships per year, Carnival aims to meet the highest demand in the market. With new ships scheduled for delivery in 2025, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2031, and 2033, Carnival Cruise Line is poised for steady growth over the coming years. The new ships are projected to grow the company’s capacity by an average of 1.5% annually between 2025 and 2033.
Carnival Cruise Line’s investment in these massive new ships represents a bold step towards the future of the cruise industry. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and strategic growth, Carnival is poised to captivate guests with unparalleled experiences. As the company continues to expand its fleet and push the boundaries of what is possible in cruising, the future looks bright for Carnival Cruise Line.
