Carnival conquers Europe
World's largest cruise company Carnival Cruise Lines announced launching of the largest number of tourist routes in its history in Europe. Among the news destinations in 2013 is a route to the Norwegian fjords, which will become the first such travel for the company.
The cruise along the picturesque coast of Norway will be served by a luxury ship Carnival Legend, designed for 2680 passengers. Starting port for this cruise will be British Dover.
Dover will not be the only port in Europe, where the liner will begin its cruises. Thus, among such ports are also Venice and Barcelona. The liner will depart from here for 12-day cruises.
Northern Europe is not a new destination for the Carnival Legend. Since 2002 the ship served 12-day cruises in the region. Then the Carnival Legend was transferred to the Caribbean region. And now the ship returns to familiar waters. Arriving in Europe is scheduled for April 15, 2013. It will be organized during the trans-Atlantic cruise, which Carnival Legend will start from Tampa on April 7, 2013.
Spring 2013 will be an active cruising period for the Carnival liner in Europe. In addition to Norway new company's routes will appear in all popular regions of Europe - Baltic, Mediterranean and British coast. In total from April to October Carnival Legend will perform 17 cruises in 18 countries. During the cruises it will visit 34 sea ports.
For the Carnival Company opening of several new directions in 2013 became one of the first positive news after a bad patch, which included the disaster of the Costa Concordia cruise ship off the Italian coast. As it is known, Costa is one of the cruise operators providing services for the Carnival Corporation.
