Carnival Victory is the third of the four Template:Sclass-s. Like all members of the Destiny class other than the lead ship, which was refitted and renamed Carnival Sunshine in 2013, she is a modified version of that lead ship, and is therefore sometimes referred to as a Triumph-class cruise ship, in an allusion to the second member of the Destiny class, Carnival Triumph.

Along with Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Triumph, Carnival Victory is operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival Victory was launched on 31 December 1998 [10]as one of the largest cruise ships at that time.[citation needed] Built by Fincantieri at its Monfalcone shipyard in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy, she was christened by Mary Frank,[11] wife of Howard Frank, the then Vice-Chairman of Carnival Cruise Line.[12] She has a nine-deck atrium with four glass elevators, a three-deck lounge with seating for 1,500, and a total capacity of 3,400 passengers and 1,000 crew members.[13]

Layout

Carnival Victory is themed to depict the different oceans and seas of the world but is structurally identical to her sister ship, Carnival Triumph. The Triumph-class ships are closely related to the earlier Destiny-class, but differ from Carnival Destiny in the addition of extra balcony cabins on their Lido decks and various changes to placement and architecture of public areas. There are three large pools and a 214-foot-long (65 m)[13] waterslide. The ship's nine story atrium is green from top to bottom and has four glass elevators.

In late 2007, Carnival Victory underwent a refit which included the modification of some of her passenger areas.[14]

Carnival Victory underwent a further refurbishment in 2015.[citation needed]

In January 2018, Carnival Victory some of the ships public areas were again modified during a refit.[15]

Service

Prior to 2013, Carnival Victory sailed from San Juan, offering seven-day Southern Caribbean cruises visiting San Juan, St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten.[citation needed]

In early 2013, Carnival Victory replaced Carnival Destiny in Miami doing four- and five-day cruises. Carnival Valor replaced Carnival Victory in San Juan.[citation needed]

In February 2016, Carnival Victory replaced the Carnival Sensation in Port Canaveral.[16] Its routes include 3 and 4 night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas and Freeport. The Carnival Sensation took over for the Victory in Miami doing 4 and 5 day cruises. In November 2016 the Victory returned to Miami to take over for the Carnival Fantasy. The Fantasy moved to Mobile, Alabama.
