CARNIVAL FESTIVALE 2027 - Cruise Ship First Look – What’s New!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a detailed preview of the Carnival Festivale, an upcoming Excel-Class cruise ship scheduled to debut in spring 2027. The vessel will be powered by liquefied natural gas and is expected to accommodate over 6,000 guests. The ship features six themed zones, including the music-inspired Studio 724 and The Festival. Studio 724 offers multimedia environments and new venues like The Spark and Mix, while The Festival introduces food concepts like Pizza Palooza and Rhythm & Rolls Deli. A significant change for this class is the replacement of the BOLT roller coaster with WaterWorks Ultra, a massive three-deck waterpark located in the Sunsation Point zone. This area also includes mini golf, a ropes course, and an arcade. The ship will retain popular features such as Grand Central, Summer Landing, and the Lido area. For accommodations, the Festivale will offer approximately 1,000 interconnecting staterooms to better serve families. The maiden voyage is planned as a transatlantic crossing in May 2027, followed by regular service from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
