Carnival Cruise Line today announced that its third Excel-class ship, to be named Carnival Jubilee, will be delivered in 2023 and based in Galveston, Texas. Carnival Jubilee will be powered by LNG.

Carnival Jubilee will be joining sisters Mardi Gras, sailing from Port Canaveral since earlier this year, and Carnival Celebration, which will be delivered in late 2022 and based in Miami. The three ships all utilize LNG.

Carnival Corp. has introduced LNG fuel in the passenger cruise sector as part of the company’s commitment to sustainability and compliance throughout its global operations. Mardi Gras is the first LNG-powered cruise ship to operate in North America.
