ABOUT THE CARNIVAL CONQUEST

Click Here For a Carnival Conquest Virtual Tour

With interiors inspired by French Impressionist painters, the exciting new Carnival Conquest represents an entirely new style of "Fun Ships"--the Conquest class. The ship's revolutionary design means that 80 percent of the staterooms offer glorious ocean views; and of those, 80 percent have private balconies.

Wake up to a sunny new day with an energizing workout in the state-of-the-art gym. Or go for an invigorating run on the outdoor jogging track. Ask the ship's personal trainers to plan an exercise program for you. Or skip the workout and hit the deck. With acres of teak deck space, you'll find the ideal spot to enjoy the fresh sea air and soothing sunshine. You can also relax in the spa with a massage, steam, or beauty treatment. And kids are sure to love the fun atmosphere of the award-winning Camp Carnival program.

After a full day of fun, enjoy an elegant meal in The Monet and Renoir dining rooms or relax with a casual dinner in Restaurant Cezanne. You many even want to celebrate a special night out in the intimate Point Supper Club. As part of the spa program, the ship also offers dishes that are low in calories, fat, sodium, and cholesterol.

For nighttime entertainment, the Carnival Conquest brings a bit of Vegas to the sea--catch a spectacular show in the onboard theatre. Or visit the 22 bars and lounges throughout the ship, including the sing-along Blues Piano Bar, the jazzy Latour Wine Bar, and the sports fan's favorite, Gaugin's. Feeling lucky? You might win big at Tahiti Casino, one of the largest at sea. Dancers will love the club Henri's, where music plays into the wee hours.

The revolutionary new Carnival Conquest is designed so 80 percent of its staterooms have magnificent ocean views; and of those, 80 percent have balconies. You'll enjoy sunny, fun, and relaxing days aboard the ship. Whether you opt for a casual poolside meal or a gourmet dinner in the elegant dining room, dining is always a special event with Carnival. The ship's spacious decks offer ample room for sunbathing, swimming, or a morning run. The spa features state-of-the-art exercise equipment and soothing beauty treatments and massages. And kids love the award-winning Camp Carnival. When the stars come out, you can take in a spectacular Vegas-style show, meet new friends in one of the ships 22 bars and lounges, or try your luck in the friendly casino.
