Carnival Cruise Lines is to name its 24th ship Carnival Breeze.
The 130,000-ton ship, capable of carrying 3,690 passengers, is due to enter service in spring 2012 as the third in the line’s Dream class of mega vessels.
Carnival Dream entered service last year with sister ship Carnival Magic currently under construction at the Fincantieri ship yard in Italy and is scheduled to debut in Europe in May 2011.
Some “exciting and unique” new elements created just for the vessel will be introduced on Carnival Dream.
These details, along with where the ship will be based and what itineraries it will run are to be released at a later date.
But the ship will include extensive facilities for children and teenagers, a 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa and The Lanai, an outdoor promenade featuring cantilevered whirlpools that extend over the ship’s sides.
Other features will include a WaterWorks aqua park with a 300-foot-long corkscrew water slide, an indoor/outdoor café and live entertainment venue called Ocean Plaza and a wide range of cabins including deluxe ocean views with two bathrooms, some of which feature five berths designed to appeal to families.
Company president and CEO Gerry Cahill said: “Carnival Breeze promises to be a spectacular addition to our fleet and its name reflects the continued evolution of our brand while conveying the fun and carefree spirit associated with a Carnival cruise.”
