Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Festivale will join the Excel-Class fleet, and she’ll be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG)—making her more environmentally friendly compared to older, diesel-powered ships.

She’ll be the fourth Excel-Class ship, following Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, and Carnival Jubilee—and she’s set to become one of the largest vessels in the fleet, with a guest capacity of over 6,000.

Festivale will feature six themed zones, including two all-new, music-inspired areas: Studio 724 and The Festival.

Sunsation Point offers much more than just water attractions. There’s Fairway 66 mini golf, a ropes course, an adventure trail, a sports court, and the Vault Retrocade—a full arcade with retro video games.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking interconnecting staterooms for larger families.
