A New Take on Family Fun 🛳️

Carnival Tropicale is the fifth and final ship in the Excel class, offering guests the class’s newest features for experiencing Carnival’s signature fun at sea. One of the ship’s highlights will be Sunsation Point, a vibrant, multi-deck family fun zone designed to keep guests entertained from day to night. This area is anchored by Carnival WaterWorks Ultra, the most family-friendly water park at sea, featuring six waterslides, including SunSoaker, Turning Tides, Racing Currents and splash areas designed for younger cruisers.

Carnival Tropicale will proudly display the Star of Texas on her bow, honoring her connection to the Lone Star State. The ship will offer four-, five-, six- and eight-day cruises to connect guests to Carnival's exclusive Paradise Collection destinations, including Celebration Key, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, Isla Tropicale and Puerta Maya, as well as popular Caribbean ports like Progreso and Nassau.

✨ The Next Course of Flavors
The fun continues at the table, where Carnival Tropicale will feature The Next Course of dining concepts, bringing flavors from around the world. Guests will be able to enjoy Uku Lei Lei, offering Hawaiian-inspired cuisine with Asian influences; Fetaccine, blending Greek and Italian flavors; and Emeril’s Coastal Seafood, showcasing seafood dishes inspired by America’s coastlines and created in partnership with Carnival’s Chief Culinary Officer Chef Emeril Lagasse.
