Carnival Ships by Age [Infographic] from Newest to Oldest

By jeremy camosse may 2021.

All Carnival Ships by AGE, from newest to the odest. You'll find ships that haven't even launched yet. How does your ships stack up?!

Below you'll find all Carnival Ships by Age from newest to oldest . We know that some members of our cruise community like the newest Carnival ship off the line. And we've heard that others prefer some nostalgia. Fortunately, Carnival offers a wide variety of ship ages.

In this age of hyper-sensitivity, we wouldn't dare favor the youngest over the oldest Carnival Cruise ship. Nor vice versa. We love all ships equally . As annoyingly "PC" as that sounds, we truly have a soft spot in our hearts for all Carnival's ships regardless of age.

Our charts below will help you find the perfectly aged ship for your specific preference. We've prepared an infographic laying out Carnival ships by Age from its newest active ship, the Jubilee (a beast), to its oldest ship still in operation (spoiler... it's the Carnival Sunshine).

Carnival Oldest and Youngest Ships

My... how you've aged

Many cruisers will scroll to the very top or the very bottom of the chart. Maybe they want the freshest ship off the line. Or, perhaps they just want to avoid sailing the most ancient of the fleet. Either way, here are the most common two questions ask from potential Carnival cruisers.

What is Carnival’s newest cruise ship?

Carnival's newest active ship is the Jubilee, launched in 2023. Technically, the newest ship to join the fleet will be the Carnival Firenze, setting sail in 2024. Though it wasn't constructed in 2024. It was acquired around this time from Costa Cruises.

What is Carnival’s oldest ship?

Carnival's oldest cruise ship, which is still active today, is the Carnival Sunshine. It was launched in 1996 and currently offers departures form Charleston, South Carolina.

One Of Carnival's newest, active ships (the Mardi Gras) is also Carnival's oldest ship... say, whaaa?! The original Mardi Gras launched in 1972 and served over two decades. It left Carnival's fleet in 1993 and lived another 10 years before it was scrapped in 2003 (pouring a little out in memory). Carnival has kept its memory alive by naming one of its newest ship with the same name!

You'll see from our Carnival Ship Age Infographic that the cruise line's active ships go back to 1996. If you're on one of these older ships, however, don't think expect a 90's throwback complete with Nirvana music and tamagotchis. Cruise ships are regularly upgraded to provide the newest venues and a fresh coat of paint.

Let's be honest, the Carnival Sunshine won't have the same "new ship smell" that you'll find on the Jubilee. And cruise pricing typically reflects this . Newer ships and ships more recently renovated will command higher prices than those in need of some updates.

If you're looking for the newest cruise ship off the lot, then our graph below should be exactly what you need. If you're cool with a recently upgraded ship, be sure to check out the details below. In addition to the Carnival cruise ship age, you'll also find the most recent renovation date included. The adjoining text will provide detail on the venues added during that retrofit.

Frequently Asked Questions for Carnival Ship Age

Carnival Corporation's newest ship is the Carnival Jubilee. When launched in 2023, It was christened by Gwen Stefani and began sailing from its homeport in Galveston, Texas. It joins the Excel class and features cutting edge technology and features, including the BOLT rollercoaster... an actual roller coaster at sea!

The Sunshine is the oldest ship in the fleet. Although, it had a different name at "birth." When launched in 1996, the ship was originally named the Carnival Destiny. It was renamed after a significant refurbishment in 2013.

A simple average of all ships in CCL's fleet results in an average ship age of 2008. The median age is 2007 among the 27 active ships.

Yes and no. Newer ships tend to command a higher cost. People tend to want what is new and novel. However, this new-age impact tends to fade after a few years. At that point, many other factors come into play including home port, itinerary, and recent upgrades.
