Carnival Imagination Highlights

  • 2052PASSENGER CAPACITY
  • 920ONBOARD CREW
  • 855LENGTH IN FEET
  • 24HOURS OF FUN A DAY

When you’re aboard this ship, you don’t have to imagine you’re having a great time — the fun you’re feeling will definitely be real! Carnival Imagination, however, brings to life fantasy and ancient legends, and its décor will surely make you feel like you’ve stepped into a different world of modern-day fun. It’s truly a treat for the imagination.

But the legendary fun aboard this ship is more than surface-deep.  You’ll find remarkably fun things onboard in the form of bustling bars, laid-back lounges, and cool-to-the-core clubs. For the kids, there are whole bunches of awesome things to do and places to do it, from an age-appropriate chill space to the water-filled thrill space of Carnival WaterWorks.

Nothing brings the family together like food and fun, and there’s plenty of that to go around on Carnival Imagination. Always remember: you’re never too big to play miniature golf!
