MIAMI, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Lines took delivery today of its new $410 million, 102,000-ton cruise ship, Carnival Triumph, from Italy's Fincantieri shipyard. The 2,758-passenger vessel is currently en route to New York from where it will operate a series of four- and five-day cruises to the Canadian Maritime Provinces beginning July 27.
According to Carnival President Bob Dickinson, "All of the ship's interior outfitting was completed prior to delivery and the end result is an extraordinarily beautiful vessel whose exquisite workmanship and elegant interiors will wow travel agents and guests alike."
Carnival Triumph is scheduled to arrive in New York on July 24, after which it will host several pre-inaugural activities for the travel trade. The ship will then begin its Canada program July 27 with a five-day cruise featuring port calls to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Saint John, New Brunswick, along with two "Fun Days" at sea. Four-day cruises visit Halifax and spend two "Fun Days" at sea.
Following the Canada voyages, the Carnival Triumph will reposition to Miami to operate a year-round schedule of seven-day Caribbean cruises from that port beginning Oct. 23.
The Carnival Triumph's interiors feature a global theme incorporating images and artistry from some of the world's most famous cities. The ship's many public areas include the Venezia Lounge, which pays homage to the timeless city of Venice, Italy; the Big Easy piano bar, reminiscent of New Orleans; the Rome Lounge, heralding the glory days of the Roman Empire; the Oxford Bar, patterned after an old English library; and the Club Rio show lounge, eliciting the excitement of Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
