Here Are The Ships Joining the Carnival Cruise Line Fleet Through 2024

Carnival Cruise Line goes beyond the older Fantasy-class vessels such as the Holiday-class. The very first was Mardi Gras which we already mentioned further up, and began sailing for the cruise line in 1972. When Carnival Ecstasy departed the fleet in October 2022, Carnival Elation became the oldest ship in the fleet. She is 71,909 gross tons and has a passenger capacity of 2,190 at double occupancy.

Carnival Vista

All signs point to ambiance — and serious flavor — so try a burger dressed up the way Guy likes it, or take it off-roading… to the nearby topping bar, where you can make it your own. The ship takes her name from a former Carnival cruise ship, Celebration, that was part of the Holiday class. The name also pays homage to the companies long history as the ship was delivered during Carnival Cruise Line’s 50th birthday year. We call Carnival Jubilee™'s onboard burger spot Guy’s Burger Joint™. She’s the newest addition to the Carnival fleet and becomes the 27th ship. These new vessels are in addition to previously announced newbuilds Mardi Gras (which has joined the fleet, but has yet to sail with passengers) and Carnival Celebration, which is still under construction.

As of December 4, 2023, the newest new-build ship in the fleet is the Carnival Jubilee, the third Excel-class vessel in the fleet. The vessel took over from sister ship Carnival Celebration, which joined the fleet at the end of 2022. Carnival Firenze is also a recent addition to the fleet, but not completely new, as she was transferred from Costa Cruises in 2024.

The entertainment

A sister ship to the popular Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration made her debut on 6th November 2022. Costa Venezia is a modified Vista-class ship, so she will be most similar to Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon and Carnival Panorama. Here are the Carnival ships that are currently sailing, starting with the newest.

The Bonsai Teppanyaki™ experience is set to delight guests aboard Mardi Gras®. Take a little time out of vacation to sit down to a selection of tempting appetizers, before your chef prepares the main course featuring selections of meats, tofu, fish, shrimp or lobster… right at your table. In the teppanyaki tradition — and Carnival’s tradition of fun — expect an interactive, satisfying meal full of surprise and delicious delight. The Summer Landing zone on Carnival Celebration is the ship's living room, and my family found ourselves there often.

SO THAT’S ALL THE FUN ON CARNIVAL CELEBRATION®?

The new travel-inspired neighborhood The Gateway on decks 6 and 7 midship is most noticeable for its LED "windows" that display scenes from countries around the world, depending on the evening's theme. The new train station-inspired Latitudes Bar and returning Emeril's Bistro 1397 anchor this area, with the popular pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar above. Emeril's serves Louisiana-style breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as three evening specials based on the day's international theme. "Dear Future Husband" isn't the only interactive entertainment you'll find on board.

Carnival Magic debuted in 2011 and has the same dimensions and passenger capacity as Carnival Breeze. Ships start as sketches, then come deck plans… and we get building from there. Check the decks on Mardi Gras® and plan all the fun you're going to have on board.

Carnival Luminosa (formerly Costa Luminosa)

All this glitz pairs perfectly with live music, making this the perfect place to relax with an elegant drink before or after dinner. She is similar to Carnival’s Sunshine-class of ship, which includes Sunshine, Sunrise, and Radiance. Carnival plans to have Costa Magica go to drydock to undergo conversion before joining the fleet next year. When the cruise suspension hit, Carnival Cruise Line took advantage to dispose of multiple older ships. The move reduced its fleet size, but made the rest of the fleet younger and more efficient overall.

Emeril's Bistro 1397 wowed my husband with a flavorful ceviche, while I enjoyed hot-from-the-oven beignets. Both were delicious but we agreed that the Mexican menu stole the show. My kids slurped up pasta at Cucina del Capitano at lunch, and I heard others rave that the steakhouse was as good as I remember from other ships.

However, I've been on older Carnival ships where all the casual venues are on the lido deck, and the area gets incredibly busy at lunchtime. Too many people crowd into the same spaces, lines snake around corners and bumps and spills are unavoidable. I've seen ships from other lines where the top-deck attractions take up so much space, the pools and lounging space get short shrift. Carnival Celebration manages to pack a lot into the Deck 18 playground, leaving plenty of real estate for the sun worshippers.

We’ve taken the vast world that exists underneath the waves as the inspiration for Currents™… but why limit your imagination to what’s real? Let the fantastical world of sunken cities, mermaids and sea monsters swirl around your mind as you enjoy new bars, dining spots and live music venues that carry this vibe. This space has good looks, but you can’t miss the innovative tech packed into the zone! Six huge LED “windows” — and the awe-inspiring wavy LED ceiling — will help transport you to mesmerizing digital underwater worlds. These screens are the center of the local entertainment, with interactive audio-visual elements that let kids, adults and everyone enjoy and add to the under-this-world seascapes!

Carnival Corporation’s cruise lines have another 16 cruise ships on order or under construction that will debut by 2025. Carnival Corporation is the largest leisure travel company in the world operating nine cruise lines and 105 cruise ships. Each year, Carnival ships visit more than 700 ports around the world. The ship strikes a balance between its Italian theme and the brand’s signature features guests know. Venezia underwent renovations in the spring, keeping venues like the ship’s gelato bar – which became part of the line’s JavaBlue Cafe – in place while adding some entirely new elements and Carnival-specific touches. Carnival Cruise Line launches new cruise ships at a rate of roughly one per year, with the oldest ships being scrapped at roughly the same rate to keep a consistent fleet size of over 20 ships.
