Carnival Dream

Carnival Cruise Line's Funships, which mainly operate from American ports, live up to their name. The concept appeals to an active, younger audience, comparable to a club holiday. The ships offer a colourful world of experiences including high-quality dining, award-winning entertainment and excellent child and youth care. Such a travel experience will stay with you for a long time! Although there are mainly US-Americans on board, you will also receive all menus and programmes in German. However, a basic knowledge of English is highly recommended.

The Carnival Dream was launched in September 2009 and was last refurbished in early 2017. On 14 decks, the Carnival Dream offers the young and young-at-heart guests lots of fun, entertainment and the latest leisure activities for children, teenagers and adults. The ship can accommodate a total of 3646 guests in double occupancy cabins.

The Carnival Dream offers something for everyone: disco, clubs, bars and lounges, large water slides on the upper deck (Waterworks), a jogging track or simply a comfortable deck chair on the sun deck. Here, everyone can arrange their holiday according to their wishes. Dress is casual during the day and festive in the evening in the main restaurant. In the buffet restaurant there is always something to eat, even without a dress code.

A new feature is the wrap-around promenade on deck 5, which is located above the lifeboats and thus offers some quiet corners for sun-seekers away from the pool deck. Here you can also take a leisurely stroll around the ship or relax with breathtaking views in one of the four whirlpools suspended over the side of the ship. Those seeking peace and quiet will also find the relaxation they need in a separate area on deck 10 reserved for adults.

At meals, guests can choose from a variety of buffets or dine in the restaurant with service. For dinner, the main restaurant offers two sittings or open table time. For a fee, there are two speciality restaurants on board. At the Steakhouse, guests can expect succulent steaks, delicious fillets and fresh salads, while Bonsai Sushi offers Asian delicacies. There is also a complimentary 24-hour room service that brings some small treats to your cabin. A new feature on this ship is The Piazza entertainment and restaurant complex, which is a cosy oasis of calm during the day, and a lively meeting place with entertainment in the evening. Also new is an indoor and outdoor café with seating on the Promenade Deck.

Las Vegas-style shows are presented every evening in the huge theatre. There is a casino, numerous bars and various opportunities for dancing. Especially for the younger guests, there is a disco on board. A karaoke bar, various international bands, artists and comedians round off the entertainment on offer.
The spa on the Carnival Dream is equipped with thermal suites and its own pool for thalassotherapy. 65 exclusive spa cabins around the spa area fulfil all wellness wishes: guests who book a spa cabin have exclusive access to all spa facilities, receive preferential treatment when booking wellness and beauty treatments, can make unlimited use of the thermal suites and the thalassotherapy pool and take advantage of free fitness lessons.
