BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – Brand new drone video of the Mardi Gras Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship being built in Turku, Finland, set to debut at Port Canaveral Feb 6, 2021.

Workers have installed nearly 800 feet of suspended track for BOLT, the first rollercoaster at sea, that will encircle upper decks and offer guests an exhilarating ride with dips and drops with breathtaking ocean views 187 feet above the waterline.

All of the ship’s more than 2,600 staterooms, including 180 suites across 11 different categories, have been installed, with interior outfitters putting the finishing touches on these unique accommodations.

Mardi Gras’ six themed zones are also taking shape. These unique areas will include dining, beverage and entertainment options, including restaurants from Emeril Lagasse, Guy Fieri and Shaquille O’Neal.

Encompassing 21 decks, Mardi Gras will offer a groundbreaking new layout highlighted by Grand Central, a massive atrium with three-deck-high windows overlooking the sea.

Mardi Gras is scheduled to enter service Feb. 6, 2021, from Port Canaveral’s new Terminal 3 which has been specifically constructed to accommodate Mardi Gras and its LNG propulsion system.

Itineraries through April 2023 are open for sale at carnival.com, 1-800-CARNIVAL, or travel agents worldwide.
