Carnival Destiny to be renamed in multi million pound refit
Carnival Destiny is to be renamed Carnival Sunshine after a $155 million makeover next year.
The refit, costing more than £99 million, will see an additional 182 cabins and will take place from February to April 2013.
Carnival Sunshine will then embark on a schedule of nine- and 12-day Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona and Venice from April to October 2013.
It will then launch year-round seven-day Caribbean departures from New Orleans beginning November 2013 – replacing Carnival Conquest. Future plans for Carnival Conquest have yet to be announced.
"This is our most ambitious ship conversion project to date and it will radically transform the Carnival Destiny into essentially an entirely new ship offering a variety of exciting dining and beverage choices, spectacular outdoor spaces and entertainment options, and on-board innovations not available anywhere else," said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
