Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Splendor was designed on Costa's Concordia-class platform and transferred to Carnival while still under construction. That makes her the only ship in Carnival's own Splendor class. She entered service in July 2008 and was Carnival's largest ship until Carnival Dream arrived the following year. A 2019 dry dock prepared her for Australian service. A 2024 refurbishment added new dining and gave her Carnival's navy-blue hull livery.
