Meyer Turku shipyard announced the float-out of the coming flag-ship of Carnival Cruise line ‘Mardi Gras’. The new ship will be the largest one in the Carnival fleet, featuring 180,000 GT. It will be delivered later in 2020.
Mardi Gras will be delivered in late October and Carnival has announced that the ship will enter revenue service on November 14, 2020 from Port Canaveral, Florida.
I believe Mardi Gras will be a truly special ship. She will be the first to use our now proven LNG cruise ship propulsion system in North American markets and feature many other sophisticated technologies – including BOLT, the first roller coaster onboard a ship
stated CEO of Meyer Turku Jan Meyer.

As for Port Canaveral, it is investing in infrastructure and will soon welcome a new LNG bunkering barge, the Q-LNG 4000, which will refuel the Mardi Gras, the first fully LNG-fueled cruise ship in North America.
Carnival Cruise Line decided to name the ship Mardi Gras after its first.
