Mardi Gras' maiden voyage is planned for April 2021
Coronavirus may have brought the global cruise industry to its knees last year but cruise lines remain confident that they will take to the water once more in 2021 – many on spectacular new ships.
The coolest, and craziest, new ship for 2021 has to be Mardi Gras.
Carnival’s 6,500 passenger ship features the world’s first rollercoaster at sea – take a bow, Bolt – as well as restaurants from celebrities and sports stars, a suspended rope course, water park, two theatres and a 1972 Fiat strategically parked in a “piazza” for Instagram purposes.
Mardis Gras will also one of the first ships to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), thereby slashing pollution and making it one one of the greenest cruise giants in North America.
