Carnival Cruise Lines, a unit of Carnival Corporation & plc , today took delivery of its 20th "Fun Ship," the 2,124-passenger Carnival Miracle. The delivery took place during traditional handover ceremonies in Helsinki at Kvaerner Masa-Yards, the Finnish shipyard that constructed the massive $375 million SuperLiner.
Following a 14-day transatlantic crossing from Helsinki to Jacksonville, Fla., Carnival Miracle will be "officially" named Feb. 27, 2004, by former Army private Jessica Lynch, then depart on its inaugural three-day voyage from Jacksonville, marking the first time that Carnival has ever operated from this Northeast Florida port.
