Cruise News Today — June 15, 2022: New Carnival Ship, Protests Block Ship, & Win a Princess Porsche
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry from a location in the Mediterranean. Carnival Cruise Line has announced the acquisition of the 2009 built Costa Luminosa from its sister brand, Costa Cruises. The vessel will be renamed the Carnival Luminosa and is scheduled to begin sailing from Brisbane, Australia, this fall. This acquisition replaces the previous plan to use a refurbished Costa Magica. The ship will operate in Australia from October to April before moving to Alaska for the summer season. In France, a group of activists known as Stop Cruises attempted to prevent the Wonder of the Seas and the MSC Orchestra from docking in Marseille. Using kayaks, the protesters blocked the vessels for two and a half hours before harbor authorities intervened. Additionally, Princess Cruises has launched a sweepstakes offering a custom all-electric Porsche featuring the company's signature sea witch design. Finally, the report notes a decline in cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian all seeing percentage decreases on Tuesday.
