Carnival returns to Europe in 2011 with a Magic touch
Carnival Cruise Line’s senior cruise director, John Heald let the cat out of the bag on his blog this evening stating that the new Carnival Magic will be based in Europe in 2011. Heald stated that the Magic will be based in Barcelona when it enters service next year and will be sailing seven-night, nine-night and 12-night itineraries to Monte Carlo, Rome, Naples, Messina, Palma, Marseilles, Venice and Dubrovnik.
Sister ship to the Carnival Dream launched in September, the 130,000-ton Magic will also carry more than 4,000 passengers. Carnival Magic is currently under construction in Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard in Trieste, Italy and is scheduled to enter service in June 2011.
This is great news for Carnival fans!

Not sure how exciting this news is – based on the Dream’s reviews the public areas were designed for an earlier class of ship that contained a much smaller number of cabins/passengers. In this new (bad) design they added lots more cabins so the public areas are swapped with those additional passengers. Sounds like Carnival needs to go back to the drawing board on these ships.
I am one of Carnival fans. and yes, this is great news for us! Thank you for sharing 🙂
I think I have an idea of where to take my wife on our honeymoon in October. Carnival is a great cruise line! We did a trip into the carribean a few years ago and I absolutely loved it! The food was second to none.
