About Carnival Cruise Line
The Carnival Corporation is the largest cruise company in the world and operates several different brands. The cruise line ‘Carnival Cruise Lines’ has the largest fleet in the group with 24 vessels. The fleet sails almost exclusively in the seas of North America and the Caribbean. For Carnival Cruise Lines the guest's experience of the ships is at least as important as the visited destinations. The concept is comparable to a club holiday and convinces an active, mostly younger audience. The ships offer a colorful world of experience including high-quality food, award-winning entertainment and excellent child and youth care. On board you will find mostly Americans.
The Carnival Horizon entered service in April 2018 and since then, has cruised the world's oceans as one of the youngest members of the Carnival Cruise Line fleet. With a length of 321 meters it can accommodate up to 3,934 passengers and thus will be just a little smaller than its sister ship, the Carnival Vista.
Staterooms
The Carnival Horizon offers a variety of different cabin categories . You can choose from luxurious suites to family rooms to cabins with a private balcony - there is something for everyone here. All staterooms are very modern, offering all amenities and comfort that you would expect from a good hotel room.
Atmosphere on Board
Carnival Cruise Lines calls their vessels fun ships and yes: it is very difficult not to be entertained on board. But this does not mean that passengers will feel disturbed by wildly partying people all day. There is enough room to relax and enjoy some quietness. The dress-code reflects this concept: casual attire is perfect for almost any situation. Only for dinner in the main restaurants a more elegant style is recommended. There are even one or two festive evenings, where evening dress is required, but you may easily escape this when not dining in the à la carte restaurants. Though guests come from all over the world, usually most people on board are US citizens.
