Discover Carnival Cruise Lines... 

Carnival is "The World's Most Popular Cruise LineŽ" with 24 ships operating 3 to 16-day voyages to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Europe, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Bermuda, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Currently Carnival has two upcoming ships in the works: Carnival Vista, set to debut in 2016, and a second vessel scheduled to enter service in 2018.

Carnival Cruise Lines offers a wide array of quality cruises, and pride themselves on delivering memorable vacations to guests. A Carnival cruise offers not only outstanding value for the money, but most importantly, fun! A "Fun Ship" cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, casinos and more. Guests are made to feel right at home, too - think comfy stateroom accommodations, attentive service, delicious food and drink - and they enjoy the experience against the backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful ports.

Cruising always sounds good... but it's never sounded this good.

And Carnival fans know that it isn't just a great way to travel - cruises feature massive amounts of fun all around you... practically everywhere you look.

A Cruise for Fans, With Fans: Choose a Carnival LIVE cruise and you'll not only enjoy an unforgettable concert plus everything a Carnival cruise has to offer, but you'll enjoy it all with your fellow fans - plenty of opportunity to meet, greet and talk rock, whether over dinner, a drink or just a sea view.
