Carnival's 100, 000 -Ton Ship Unveiled $400-million vessel dubbed Destiny

The Carnival Destiny is the name chosen by Carni- val Cruise Lines for the world's first 100,000-grt cruise ship. Carnival unveiled details of the jumbo-sized vessel at a recent Miami trade show. Under construc- tion by the Italian shipyard Fincantieri Cantieri Navali

Italiani, S.p.A. of Trieste, the $400-million vessel will begin sailing from the Port of Miami in the fall of 1996.

The Carnival Destiny will mark Carnival's eleventh newshipin 14years. CarnivalPresidentBobDickinson said that Carnival had not set out to build the largest passenger vessel in the world. "You've heard of the 'Dream Team' in basketball, well this is our dream ship, incorporating all the amenities and features for the ultimate vacation...it just turned out to be this big," he explained.

The Carnival Destiny will be 892 ft. (272 m) long with a maximum beam of 125 ft. (38 m) and a total capacity of 3,350 passengers. The vessel will tower 207 ft. (63 m) above the water at its highest point.

The majority of the Carnival Destiny cabins will be ocean view, many with private verandas. A three- deck-high showroom will utilize the latest technical advancements, providing the capability to stage so- phisticated productions. Both of Carnival Destiny's dining rooms will be two decks high with large picture windows. The Carnival Destiny features three out- door pools. One of these may be enclosed with a sliding glass cover in the event of inclement weather.

Another features swim-up bars while the third lies at the end of a twisting, turning, serpentine slide more than 115 ft. (35 m) long.
