Two New Excel Class Ships
Carnival Festivale, the fourth Excel-class lineup, will debut in 2027, bringing fresh innovation to the beloved Excel series. While other Excel-class ships have wowed guests with their exciting features, like the BOLT roller coaster and enormous water parks. Festivale takes things even further, with extra space for families, new music centered zones, enhanced 360-degree infinity pools and exclusive dining options. Carnival Festivale is not just a ship; it’s an adventure. She blends what we already love about the Excel class with refinements that cater to modern travelers seeking flexibility, style, and unforgettable experiences.
Carnival Tropicale, releasing in 2028, pays homage to Carnival's first ship by reviving its historic name. This vessel, however, is anything but old-fashioned. Tropicale will embody the fun and energy of Carnival’s carefree spirit, but with a fresh, modern twist. The Tropical Pavilion: A brand-new oasis onboard, the Tropical Pavilion, it is part greenhouse and part resort. A multi-story atrium featuring cascading waterfalls and pools, and customizable room options to better fit families.
