Carnival Tropicale debuts in 2028 as the fifth ship in Carnival's Excel Class, a vessel that honors the lineage of the line by bearing a name that pays tribute to Carnival's first all-new vessel, Festivale. With a vast 8,000-passenger capacity, the ship brings a bustling, sun-soaked atmosphere to every voyage, marrying Carnival's renowned energy with refined spaces and new experiences. Guests will discover a network of vibrant neighborhoods and outdoor decks designed for spontaneous discovery, a wide array of dining options, and immersive entertainment that spans multiple venues—from a grand theater and live music to deckside performances and late-night revelry. Onboard activities are crafted to entertain every age and interest: splash-friendly water features and pools for families, interactive play zones, youth programs for kids and teens, and sports and fitness areas for active travelers, all complemented by relaxing retreats for adults, including serene lounges and spa experiences. The ship's design emphasizes open-air immersion and social gathering, enabling guests to mingle along a sunlit promenade, take on friendly challenges in the sports zones, or enjoy a film under the stars. With the spirit of Festivale woven into its DNA and Excel Class enhancements in place, Carnival Tropicale promises bold adventures, unforgettable shows, and a celebration-at-sea vibe that makes every voyage feel like a grand carnival of discovery.
