Line’s Newest Ship Sailed on Inaugural Voyage from Barcelona
MIAMI – In a traditional maritime handover ceremony held last month at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, Carnival Cruise Line
officially took delivery of the new 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon, the 26th ship in its fleet.
The 3,954-passenger ship repositioned to Barcelona, Spain,
where it departed April 2 on an inaugural 13-day voyage – the first
of four sailings from the European port. The ship will then operate a
trans-Atlantic crossing before arriving in New York May 23, 2018, for a
pierside overnight gala and naming ceremony featuring the ship’s
godmother, Grammy award-winning musical artist and acclaimed actress
Queen Latifah.
Following a summer schedule of four-day Bermuda and eight-day Caribbean sailings from New York, Carnival Horizon will shift to Miami for a year-round schedule of six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises beginning Sept. 22, 2018.
Carnival
Horizon offers several unique and exciting features, including a new
Dr. Seuss-themed WaterWorks aqua park, part of the line’s exclusive
partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Bonsai Teppanyaki, the line’s
first teppanyaki venue, and Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse|Brewhouse
serving up “real deal” barbecue favorites created by Food Network star
Guy Fieri, as well as four new craft beers brewed on board.
The
second in the line’s highly successful Vista-class, Carnival Horizon
also offers fun innovations like the bike-ride-in-the-sky aerial
attraction SkyRide, an IMAX Theatre, the Havana section with
tropics-inspired staterooms and its own pool, and Family Harbor
featuring extra-roomy accommodations and the Family Harbor Lounge.
Like its name implies, Carnival Horizon also includes food and beverage
outlets offering amazing views with both indoor and al fresco seating
options at venues such as Bonsai Sushi, Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse and
Library Bar.
“Carnival
Horizon is an absolutely stunning ship offering so many ways to ‘Choose
Fun’ both inside and out,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival
Cruise Line. “In addition to the many exciting innovations previously
introduced on Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon offers some new
one-of-a-kind features and attractions that make this ship truly special
allowing our guests to create a lifetime of wonderful vacation
memories,” she added.
