Carnival Splendor is a Concordia-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. As she is the only Concordia-class ship in the Carnival fleet, she is also referred to as a Splendor-class ship. Her other sister ships are part of the Costa Crociere fleet. The ship was originally designed and ordered for Costa Cruises but she was transferred to Carnival Cruise Line during construction.[7] She has a different funnel design than her sister ships.
The 113,323 gross tonnage (GT)[6] ship entered service on 2 July 2008 as the largest Carnival ship until Carnival Dream debuted in September 2009.
