New 130,000-ton Carnival Dream to be Based at Port Canaveral

Carnival Cruise Lines has announced that the new 130,000-ton Carnival Dream – the largest “Fun Ship” ever constructed – will be based at Port Canaveral, Fla., beginning in fall 2009. Details on the ship’s itinerary will be provided at a later date.

Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, the 3,652-passenger Carnival Dream is the first in a new class of ship for the line with a unique interior design, sleek hull and distinctive profile, along with a host of innovative facilities and features which will be released in the coming months.

The deployment of the Carnival Dream to Port Canaveral continues the line’s 18-year relationship with the Canaveral Port Authority, the longest tenure of any cruise line there.

In addition to the Carnival Dream, the line has two other “Fun Ships” scheduled to enter service – the 113,300-ton Carnival Splendor, set to debut in Europe July 2, 2008, and the 130,000-ton Carnival Magic, slated for delivery in June 2011.

Carnival is the largest and most popular cruise line in the world, with 22 “Fun Ships” operating three- to 18-day voyages to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Canada, New England, Europe and South America.

  1. I can’t wait for more info on this great ship. Have been watching for over 2 years, since my last cruise…on Carnival of course. Want to go on the inauguaral.

  2. Can’t wait to get itinerary info on the magic. This is the year of my 25th wedding anniversay and I would love to surprise my husband, kids and grandkids with a cruise and renewal of wedding vows. We have enjoyed ourselves on each cruise we have been on.

  3. Can’t wait for the Dream, have sailed on the Glory, Liberty, Freedom and the Carnival Triumph.
    If the Dream is in Port Canaveral, I heart the Carnival Freedom is going their and the Freedom of the Seas is going their. Isn’t it getting a little crowded. What about the GLory and Disney.
    Port Carnaveral is a lot closer to George people than Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Let’s go cruising!

  4. WE LOVE CARNIVAL,,,,SAILED 25 TIMES
    2 MORE BOOKED THIS YEAR,,,,
    GO CARNIVAL…

    PORT CANAVERAL IS A GREAT PORT
