Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line

If you’re thinking of cruising, there’s a very good chance you’re considering a Carnival cruise. Growing since our founding in 1972, Carnival Cruise Line — “The World’s Most Popular Cruise Line®” — now carries millions of guests every year. Our newest ship is Carnival Panorama®, which debuted in December 2019. This year, definitely look for the transformed Carnival Radiance™ and the game-changing new Mardi Gras™. And while it’s a little further out, we’re already excited about Carnival Celebration™, coming in 2022! Carnival Cruise Line is proud to be part of a family of companies owned by Carnival Corporation, which includes sister lines Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Cunard Line, among others.

It’s never been so easy to relax. Get your workout in and spend the day soaking in the jacuzzi, lounging on the sun-drenched deck or swimming in the crystal-clear pool. The options are endless, so spend the day doing what you want.

Stay in shape with Spa Carnival’s state-of-the-art exercise equipment, jogging track and aerobics classes. Each ship’s spa features a staff of knowledgeable fitness experts ready to assist you.

Feel the stress sail away as you pamper your body and mind. Relax and revive with a trip to our steam room and sauna. For the ultimate in relaxation, soothe your tired and aching muscles with a full-body massage.

Look and feel your best as stroll around the ship and ports. Spa Carnival features a variety of beauty treatments for both men and women including: facials, loofah treatments, manicures, pedicures and hairstyling.

Every year we sail millions of guests who love the joy of cruising and the beauty and calm of the sea. The ocean is a cherished resource that we must all respect and one we are committed to preserving, protecting and promoting for future generations to enjoy.
Sustainability and environmental responsibility are issues more and more companies are addressing. Along with our sister brands that operate under the Carnival Corporation umbrella, we are making a concerted effort to enhance our sustainability practices so we can achieve our goal of being the environmental leaders you expect us to be. In this effort, we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new technology, equipment and training to propel our environmental stewardship forward. We have made tremendous progress in reducing emissions, fuel consumption, water and energy usage, and many other metrics by which we measure our improvements.
As leaders in the cruise industry, we are committed to doing more, being ever vigilant, and moving faster with our plans. Over the next few months, you may notice changes to some of our product offerings as we move to reduce single use plastics and eliminate certain other items that are difficult to recycle or separate from food waste. It’s important for you to know that these changes are focused on our being better environmental stewards – not cutting costs – as many of these changes actually increase our cost and the manpower required to execute them.
Some of these changes are underway, but many more will be coming by the end of this year, including:
Eliminating most individual servings of packaged items like foil-wrapped butter pats, condiments, salad dressing, cereal boxes and sugar (but excluding artificial sweeteners);
Eliminating various decorative items used in food/beverage service, such as steak temperature markers, toothpicks, umbrellas, stir sticks and olive picks;
Eliminating the distribution of all drinking straws, with the exception of frozen drinks, which will be served with an edible straw; wooden coffee stirrers will be replaced with stainless stirrers which can be sanitized and reused;
All beverages will be served in glass or reusable plastic tumblers; all to-go hot beverages will be served in paper cups with paper lids;
Shampoo and body wash will be distributed in pumps in all staterooms, suites and spa facilities;
Plastic water bottles are currently recycled, but we are exploring various alternatives that could replace plastic water bottles in the future.
We are committed to doing our part to implement best practices and new technologies to reduce our environmental footprint. And, along with the support of our terrific crew and guests working together, we will do our part to protect the oceans we enjoy and the air that we breathe. We ask that you embrace these changes in the spirit in which they are being made and understand how these changes may limit how our team responds to certain requests. The one thing we are not changing is our commitment to providing you with a memorable and fun vacation. And together, with your support, we will continue our progress as outstanding environmental stewards.
