Carnival Cruise Line announced that its third Excel-class ship – to be named Carnival Jubilee – will be delivered in 2023 and based in Galveston, Texas.
Carnival Jubilee will be the third in the Excel-class for Carnival, joining sister ships Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, which will be delivered in late 2022 and based in Miami. The ships utilize a liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology platform. Mardi Gras is the first LNG-powered cruise ship to operate in North America.
Carnival Jubilee will arrive at 182,800 gross tons, with a capacity of more than 5,400 guests and 1,700 crew. Carnival will be offering seven-day western Caribbean itineraries and will include features from her sister ships including the BOLT roller coaster on the top deck, expanded dining options, new designs for suites and staterooms, and a three-deck atrium on the starboard side of the ship that overlooks the ocean and converts to an entertainment venue at night. The ship will also have six fun-filled zones like her sisters, two of which will be brand-new concepts to be revealed at a later date. Details on these just-for-Jubilee firsts and other exciting news will be shared over the coming months.
Carnival Jubilee will be open for sale in early 2022. You can find out more about the Carnival Jubilee at this link. You can also learn more about LNG technology that is being used on the Carnival Jubilee by watching the video below.
