It is a massive vessel powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and features the "BOLT" roller coaster at sea. Looking ahead into late 2026 and 2027, Carnival has announced further expansion with new ships potentially named Carnival Festivale or Tropicale as part of their fleet growth strategy.

It offers six distinct themed "zones," including the exclusive "Currents" and "The Shores" areas which feature innovative LED technology and digital underwater worlds, differentiating it from its sister ships, the Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration.
