The Fantasy class is a cruise ship class operated by Carnival Cruise Lines. The first vessel of the class, Carnival Fantasy, entered service in 1990. All eight vessels of the class were constructed by Kvaerner Masa-Yards, in Helsinki, Finland, at the Hietalahti shipyard.
In late 2006, Carnival Cruise Lines refurbished the Fantasy-class fleet under the program name "Evolutions Of Fun". This was completed in 2010 and cost $250 million.[1]
