Construction of New Carnival Horizon Continues

Construction of Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, the 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon, is moving along as scheduled as work continues at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy.

The ship’s stunning spaces—from the Dr. Seuss-themed WaterWorks aqua park and the 270-square-foot Seaside Theatre poolside LED screen to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor dining, beverage, and entertainment venues—are taking shape in anticipation for Carnival Horizon’s April 2018 maiden voyage.

Carnival Horizon is set to debut April 2, 2018, with a 13-day Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona—the first of four round-trip departures from this port. Carnival Horizon will then reposition to the U.S. with a 14-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Barcelona to New York May 9-23, 2018, positioning the vessel for a summer schedule of 4-day Bermuda and 8-day Caribbean departures from the Big Apple.

Carnival Horizon will shift to Miami to launch a year-round schedule of 6- and 8-day Caribbean cruises beginning Sept. 22, 2018. Carnival Horizon will also offer a special 2-day cruise to Nassau from Miami Sept. 20-22, 2018.
