Carnival Horizon

Carnival Horizon is operated by Carnival Cruise Line, part of Carnival Corporation & plc, and is the second ship in the Vista class. She was built by Fincantieri at the Marghera yard in Italy, delivered in March 2018, and officially christened in New York on May 23, 2018 by godmother Queen Latifah before beginning Caribbean service.

By the numbers, Carnival Horizon measures about 133,500 gross tons and is roughly 1,055 feet (323.4 meters) long with a beam around 122 feet (37.2 meters). At double occupancy she carries 3,960 guests with approximately 1,450 crew. These specs come from Carnival’s official ship page and the builder’s technical sheet.

Dining on Horizon adds up to about a dozen options when you include the two main dining rooms, the Lido Marketplace and popular venues like Guy’s Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, Seafood Shack, Bonsai Sushi and Bonsai Teppanyaki, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Cucina del Capitano, the Chef’s Table, and Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse with its on-board brewery. Lineups can vary by voyage, but these are mainstays regularly listed for the ship.

Beyond restaurants, Horizon is known for big-ticket attractions including an IMAX theater within the Carnival Multiplex, the SkyRide suspended cycling track, the Dr. Seuss WaterWorks splash park, Playlist Productions shows, The Punchliner Comedy Club, the Serenity adults-only retreat, the Cloud 9 Spa, and themed areas like Havana Bar & Pool, Family Harbor and Cloud 9 Spa accommodations.
