![]() ![]() It has now added the Resilient Lady in 2023 and is expected to launch the Brilliant Lady later this year. This launched its first vessel, the Scarlet Lady in 2020, followed by the Valiant Lady in 2021. One of the newest cruise lines is Virgin Voyages. The line also offers seven smaller Grand Class vessels that were launched between 19. This class includes the Royal Princess (2013), Regal Princess (2014), Majestic Princess (2017), Sky Princess (2019), Enchanted Princess (2020) and Discovery Princess (2022). So, they are less about the extra attractions. While they were designed to be top-tier Cruise Vessels, they offer a more classic cruise experience. The line’s previous efforts were focused on its six Royal class vessels that started rolling out in 2013. The Sphere class appears to be Princess Cruise Line’s first attempt to add more attractions to its fleet’s vessels. This is in addition to other amenities on the lower decks, including three kid’s lounges for different age groups.Ī second Sphere class ship, the Star Princess, is also planned to launch in 2025. It will propel guests around a track over the ship’s top decks at 11mph.Ī post shared by Princess Cruises features will include a ropes course, a wet playground and splash pad, and the Infinite Horizon Tilt Wall. This powered creation is essentially a hybrid between a zip line and a suspended roller coaster. This starts with the new Sea Breeze Rollglider from Walltopia. The Sun Princess will offer a virtual amusement park of fun on Deck 19. In 2024, it will launch its first new Sphere class vessel in 2024, the Sun Princess. Princess Cruises will soon join the fun too. Theme park attractions on Princess cruise ships However, based on the current direction of the company with the Excel class design, it is now pivoting to take advantage of this latest trend. This includes a number of older and smaller vessels that have a more traditional line-up and fewer special attractions. The Horizon’s waterpark has a unique Dr Seuss theme and the Venezia has one more water slide than the others.Īltogether, Carnival has over 25 different ships in its fleet. The Vista and Horizon feature IMAX theaters and Panorama has a unique trampoline park. This features cars that run around the outside of the ship on an inverted track system. There is also a suspended guest pedal-powered SkyRide. The primary attractions of the Vista-class ships include a small top-deck waterpark, a mini golf course and a ropes course. This range includes Carnival Vista (2016), Horizon (2018), Panorama (2019), Venezia (2023) and the upcoming Firenze in 2024. Prior to this, the biggest class Carnival vessels were the Vista class. ![]() WhiteWater has installed water park and family attractions onto several Carnival Cruise Line ships. These ships also offer WaterWorks (a small waterpark), alongside a ropes course and a mini-golf course. The fun doesn’t end with the Bolt coaster, however. All three of these Excel class ships will have a Bolt coaster installed on the top deck. This will be followed by the Carnival Jubilee, which is expected to launch in December 2023. ![]() The Carnival Celebration, a sister ship to the Mardi Gras, launched to guests in late 2022. Perhaps it is better to think of this as if someone decided to mount a large motorcycle to a roller coaster track, and then mount a track featuring a series of turns and hills across the top deck of the ship. Carnival’s Bolt coaster is actually the “Spike” coaster concept from Maurer Rides. Unlike a traditional roller coaster that uses a launch or lift hill to get things started, the Bolt coaster is powered from start to finish. This new Excel class vessel features Bolt, the first roller coaster at sea. This all ended with the launch of the Carnival Mardi Gras in 2021. But, despite that tagline, Carnival’s vessels have always been a little more traditional in design. As the boats get bigger, the number of attractions they can attach to the top deck seems to be limitless! Cruise ships meet theme parks: the first roller coaster at seaĬarnival Cruise Line has long promoted itself as being the “Fun Ship”. Yes, many of today’s biggest and newest cruise ships are starting to look, quite literally, like a floating theme park. Waterslides? Check! Mini-Golf? Check! Roller Coaster?…Umm… What? There is a growing segment of the marketplace who are demanding a whole new concept of cutting-edge amenities. But, as they say, “the tides are changing”. ![]()
