Carnival Cruise Line’s new Excel-class ship, Carnival Celebration, has arrived in Southampton for a first-look event, marking the first time the line has brought a new ship to the UK in 20 years.
Carnival Celebration is one of a new generation of LNG-powered ships
To welcome the ship, Carnival hosted local officials, travel partners and members of the media for a day of guided tours and lunch.
Earlier this week, the line took delivery of Celebration at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland.
"I can’t tell you how exciting this day has been, finally giving our UK travel partners the opportunity to see our new Excel-class ship," said Carnival president Christine Duffy.
