Carnival Cruise Line Offering Cruises to Europe on 3 Ships in 2020

Carnival Cruise Line will be offering cruises to Europe on three cruise ships in 2020 including their largest ship ever, Mardi Gras.

While Carnival Cruise Line’s primary focus is in the Caribbean and Bahamas, here are the cruise ships and itineraries that Carnival will be offering in Europe next year.

Carnival Radiance

Carnival Cruise Line is planning a massive makeover on Carnival Victory that is so huge, the cruise line is renaming the ship Carnival Radiance.  Once the $200 million transformation is complete, the ship will sail a handful of cruises in Europe.

Carnival Radiance will sail a series of nine to 12 night cruises out of Barcelona starting on April 29, 2020.

The cruise ship will stop at some of the most popular cruise ports in Europe including Rome, Naples, Malta, Kotor, Dubrovnik, and Marseille.

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras will be Carnival Cruise Line’s largest ship ever at 180,000 gross tons. The cruise ship will not only be powered by LNG, but will be the first ship to ever have a roller coaster.
