Fincantieri Delivers Costa Firenze

Fincantieri delivered the 135,500-ton Costa Firenze to Carnival's Costa Crociere brand today at Trieste. As the name would imply, the ship has a Florentine Renaissance theme throughout. 

The video below is a first look at the ship's stunning interior.

Stopping for Gas

Carnival's new Mardi Gras made its first port call today as it makes its way from the shipyard in Finland to its new home port of Port Canaveral. It is calling at Rotterdam today and tomorrow for fueling. Mardi Gras is powered by Liquified Natural Gas, which not only has limited availability, but requires a specialized fueling process.  

The complete story appeared in the December 22, 2020, edition of Cruise News Daily.
