Carnival announces plans for nine new ships
Carnival has announced plans to add nine ships to its fleet from 2019 to 2023.
The cruise giant said the new vessels would boost fuel efficiency and add the industry’s newest amenities such as faster wi-fi and upgraded theatres.
They will sail in Europe and North America, as well as in emerging markets such as China.
“We’re excited to take this next step in our fleet enhancement plan with these two new agreements that are consistent with our long-term strategy of measured capacity growth over time,” Carnival chief executive officer Arnold Donald said in a statement.
Currently Carnival has 101 ships but the number will shrink this year, as two are added and four removed.
A total of 10 ships are already on order to enter service through 2018.
