Carnival Breeze Cruise Ship


Carnival Breeze is the third Dream-Class cruise ship being built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy, for Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL). She is the sister ship of Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic, which were delivered in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
Dream-Class cruise ships are the largest passenger ships ever built for CCL. They are also the largest cruise ships built in the history of Italian shipbuilding.
Carnival Breeze is anticipated to enter service in June 2012 with 12-day Mediterranean cruises. She will then be shifted to Miami, Florida, in November 2012 for year-round six and eight-day Caribbean operations.
The design of Carnival Breeze was developed from her existing sister ships and has the same outdoor set-up. Her design is inspired by tropical ambiances. She will be coated with warm colours and will be given chromatic colour shades created by Partner Ship Design (PSD).
PSD has also designed most of the public areas including the staterooms, central area, shops, promenade deck, dance lounge, restaurant deck, spa, bars, entertainment lounge and open decks.
A four-slide water park will be outfitted on the last deck. A promenade will run across the ship's external perimeter.
The 128,500t ship will cruise at a maximum speed of 22.5kt. She has an overall length of 306m. Length between perpendiculars is 269.2m and moulded breadth is 37.2m.

The 130,000-ton, 3,690-passenger Carnival Breeze, the third ship in Carnival's Dream class and 24th in the fleet, is set to launch in June 2012. The first-in-class Carnival Dream debuted in September 2009 and sister ship Carnival Magic followed in May 2011.

Much of what's found onboard Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic will be on Carnival Breeze, including the adults-only Serenity area; Seaside Theatre; "Cloud 9" spa; WaterWorks aqua park with a 303-foot-long, corkscrew waterslide; SportSquare outdoor fitness and adventure area; RedFrog Pub; family-style Cucina del Capitano Italian restaurant; and family cabins designed to accommodate five passengers. (Peruse our Carnival Dream review page for photos and info.) Interiors will be decorated in a Caribbean theme, from the creative efforts of Germany-based Partner Ship Design.

Carnival Breeze will spend its inaugural season in Europe, with a 12-night maiden voyage departing on June 3, 2012, and sailing from Venice to Barcelona. It will then sail 12-night Mediterranean cruises out of Barcelona through October 25, 2012. Following a 15-night transatlantic voyage from November 6-21, the ship will arrive in Miami, where it will offer year-round, alternating six- and eight-night Caribbean itineraries.

The ship is currently under construction at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
