Carnival Elation (formerly Elation) is a Fantasy-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Finland, she was floated out on January 4, 1998, and christened as Elation by Shari Arison Dorsman.[1] Her inaugural cruise began March 20, 1998.[2] During 2007, in common with all of her Fantasy-class sisters, she had the prefix Carnival added to her name.[3] Carnival Elation is currently sailing 4+5 day cruises to the Bahamas from Jacksonville.
