The ship is being constructed at the Fincantieri Maghera shipyard in Italy. The ship is coming together but still some way to go including the float out on the water for the very first time, sea trials and outfitting all the interior spaces.
There’s a lot of attention on this ship as she’s the final in her class and sister ship to Carnival Vista which entered service in 2016 and Carnival Horizon which joined the fleet in 2018. Carnival Panorama will be 133,500 gross tons once complete along with a guest capacity of at least 3,960.
