Carnival’s newest “Fun Ship,” Carnival Breeze, is set to debut in June 2012, introducing Caribbean-inspired interiors and staterooms that take their cue from the region’s cool island breezes and warm tropical sunsets. 

As illustrated in the following slideshow, Carnival Breeze’s staterooms offer a distinctive island-inspired design theme offering a dramatic combination of bright colors and soothing pastel hues, with iconic images of palm trees and other tropical elements adorning hallway corridors.  Contemporary furnishings and light fixtures enhance the stylish atmosphere.

Aside from a colorful new interior design, Carnival Breeze will feature popular “Fun Ship” amenities such as the Caribbean-inspired RedFrog Pub, action-packed SportSquare recreation complex, Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian restaurant, a wrap-around open-air promenade called The Lanai with whirlpools that extend over the ship’s sides, the expansive WaterWorks aqua park, and Ocean Plaza, a stunning indoor/outdoor café and live entertainment venue.  More exciting features unique to Carnival Breeze will be announced in the near future.  

The stateroom renderings, as well as images of Carnival Breeze’s many features and facilities, are showcased on a special web page at www.carnival.com/breeze.

Carnival Breeze is scheduled to enter service June 3, 2012 with a special one-time voyage from Venice to Barcelona, positioning the vessel for a summer schedule of 12-day Mediterranean voyages through October 25, 2012.  Following a 15-transatlantic crossing from Barcelona to Miami, Carnival Breeze will launch year-round six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises from Miami November 24, 2012.
