Carnival Cruises

From European Cruise Guide

ABOVE: The Carnival Freedom entered service last year.

Carnival Cruises is the Coca-Cola or McDonald's of  American cruising: Its family-friendly brand is a household name, it has nearly two dozen ships, and it attracts new and experienced cruisers of all ages from all walks of life.

For 2008, Carnival has expanded its European itinareries with cruises in two regions:

In the Mediterranean, the Carnival Freedom offers 12-day cruises from Civitavecchia (Rome). The 110,000-ton ship carries up to 2,974 passengers and has such family-oriented amenities as connecting staterooms and a 214-foot water slide.

In Northern Europe, the Carnival Splendor has 12-day cruises that begin and end in Dover, England (not far from London), with visits to such ports as Copenhagen, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, and Amsterdam. The brand-new ship is rated at 113,000 GRT and has a rated capacity of  3,006 passengers.

A few shorter cruises and transatlantic crossings are also on Carnival's schedule for 2008.
