Barrisol Lighting Installation

The refit will include a reconfigured layout, with the addition of a partial deck and the expansion of two other decks within the forward section of the ship, providing the opportunity to incorporate a number of new and exciting on-board spaces. One-hundred and eighty-two cabins will be added, as well.

The redesign will be so extensive and wide-ranging that the ship will be renamed Carnival Sunshine following the 49-day dry dock, which will take place from February to April 2013.  The refit work will be completed by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri.

Following the dry dock, Carnival Sunshine will embark on a schedule of 9 and 12 day Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona and Venice from April to October 2013. The newly refitted cruise ship will then launch year round, seven day Caribbean departures from New Orleans from the beginning November 2013.
