Carnival Cruise Line not too long ago unveiled the primary particulars of Mission Ace, their largest cruise ships but that can be at the very least 230,000 gross tons in measurement.

Carnival has three Mission Ace ships on order that can debut in 2029, 2031, and 2033.  Whereas the cruise line hasn’t given quite a lot of particulars on these new ships, here’s what we all know to this point.

Throughout a press occasion on Carnival Celebration earlier than Seatrade Cruise International, Carnival talked a little bit about Mission Ace and even had a Q&A with members of the media.

Mission Ace can have:

Carnival spent tens of millions of {dollars} upgrading and increasing the terminal earlier than Carnival Celebration debuted in 2022.
