Carnival’s Spanish joint cruise brand to launch with three ships
Carnival Corporation’s Spanish joint venture cruise line is to launch with three ships.
The Iberocruceros joint venture combines the two vessels run by Spanish partner Orizonia and a vessel from the Carnival group – the 1,486-capacity Celebration.
The fleet will consist of Orizonia’s 1,244-passenger Grand Mistral and 834-passenger Grand Voyager, with Celebration scheduled to enter service in late spring 2008 after a refurbishment. Itineraries will be announced shortly.
The details emerged as Orizonia, Spain’s largest travel company, and Carnival finalised agreements for the previously announced multi-ship cruise brand serving the Spanish market.
Carnival will own three quarters of the joint venture and Orizonia the remaining 25%.
