For those of you that have secretly fantasized about time
travel, Carnival Cruise Lines now offers a convenient way to
make your dreams come true. On their latest 110,000 ton 'Fun
Ship'
Carnival Freedom,
17th century France is only a few steps away from
Hemingway's Havana and the hanging gardens of Babylon. And
though the overpowering extravaganza of forms and colors
might look completely mismatched at first, odds are you will
feel completely at home before you can say 'Fun'! |
|

|
Carnival Freedom
was built by Fincantieri's Maghera yard located at a
stone's thrown from Venice, so it came as no surprise that
Carnival chose the Italian city as the backdrop for
Carnival Freedom's naming ceremony. At 8.00 PM on
March 4, 2007, former super model Kathy Ireland let the
bottle crash on the giant ship's hull. Carnival Freedom
will spend her first summer in European |
|
|
|
|
|
|
waters,
showing that the quintessentially American brand is showing a
definite interest in the Old World. If Carnival Freedom's
sellout maiden Mediterranean cruises are anything to go by,
prepare for a lot more European 'fun' in the years to come!
