CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES TAKES DELIVERY
OF NEW 113,300-TON CARNIVAL SPLENDOR
Largest ‘Fun Ship’ Ever Constructed Debuts from Genoa July 2
MIAMI (June 30, 2008) – Earlier today, in ceremonies at the
Fincantieri shipyard in Sestri, Italy, Carnival Cruise Lines
officially took delivery of its newest “Fun Ship,” the new 113,300-ton
Carnival Splendor.
The largest Carnival Cruise Lines vessel ever constructed, the
3,006-passenger SuperLiner debuts July 2 with an inaugural eight-day
Western Europe voyage from Genoa to London (Dover).
From Dover, the ship will be officially named during a
ceremony on July 10 presided over by its godmother, British celebrity
Myleene Klass, a chart-topping musician, singer and television
personality.
Following the naming, Carnival Splendor will sail on a special
three-day voyage to Amsterdam July 10-13, then launch the line’s
first-ever Northern Europe cruise program featuring ports from
Denmark, Germany, Russia, Finland, Estonia and The Netherlands. The
program runs July 13 - Aug. 30, 2008.
Representing a new class of vessel for the line, Carnival
Splendor offers a host of innovative facilities and features
highlighted by a luxurious health and fitness facility – the
two-level, 21,000-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa which houses a
thalassotherapy pool, an elaborate thermal suite and 17 private
treatment rooms. Adjacent to the facility will be 68 spa staterooms
and suites – a first for the line.
Other features include a two-deck-high children’s play area –
the largest in the “Fun Ship” fleet – along with a water park, and a
mid-ship pool covered by a magradome and featuring Carnival’s Seaside
Theatre, a 270-square-foot LED screen displaying movies, concerts and
other programming.
“Carnival Splendor is a wonderful addition to our fleet,
offering an array of innovative amenities and facilities, including
specifically designed areas catering to different guests, from
expansive children’s facilities to our popular adults-only retreat,
Serenity,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival’s president and CEO. “We can’t
wait to bring our guests aboard to experience for themselves all this
magnificent ‘Fun Ship’ has to offer,” he added.
Following its Northern Europe schedule, Carnival Splendor will
operate a 12-day Western Europe cruise departing Sept. 11 followed by
“Grand Mediterranean” and “Mediterranean, Greece & Turkey” voyages
through Oct. 17, and a 16-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Rome
(Civitavecchia) to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Oct. 29 – Nov. 14, 2008.
The ship will operate a winter schedule of seven-day Caribbean
voyages from Fort Lauderdale followed by a series of 14- to 18-day
South American voyages – Carnival’s first. These voyages will
position Carnival Splendor for year-round seven-day Mexican Riviera
voyages from Long Beach, Calif., beginning March 29, 2009, continuing
the line’s West Coast expansion.
Carnival is currently accepting reservations for all of the
Carnival Splendor’s European, Caribbean, South American and Mexican
Riviera cruises.
For additional information and reservations contact any travel
agent.
