| More for Carnival

CARNIVAL Cruise Line will take on two additional ships by 2023.

Costa Cruises’ Costa Magic, built in 2003, will be renamed and converted to Carnival by mid-next year, while a newbuild originally planned for AIDA Cruises will also be transferred.

These two vessels are in addition to Carnival Celebration, which is scheduled to be delivered from Meyer Turku and sail from PortMiami starting late next year.

The three additions will bring the Carnival fleet to 27 by the end of 2023, with President Christine Duffy expressing her excitement, saying the new trio reflects the strong position the cruise line has established.

“We continue to see for cruise vacations and the overall plans by Carnival Corporation to optimise capacity and growth in key markets,” she said.

“This is another cause for excitement at Carnival, and we will be announcing more detailed plans about homeports, itineraries and ship names very soon,” she said.
