Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Legend has begun its European summer sailing season from Barcelona, Spain, following a dry dock that added several new features and updated many public areas.
A key addition is the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, a space dedicated to active-duty military members and veterans. This is the 13th such bar in the Carnival fleet, featuring military mementos including the army boots of Deshauna Barber, godmother of Carnival Vista and a captain in the United States Army Reserve.
Other new offerings include Chef's Table, Dreams Studio and a space just for Carnival Adventures. The ship's steakhouse has been refreshed into Fahrenheit 555, while the casino has been expanded. The spa is now branded as a Cloud 9 Spa and Fitness Center, a popular feature of Carnival's fleet. Additional updates include refreshed retail shops, a new mini golf course on the top deck and renovations to the youth program's Circle C and Camp Ocean clubs.
During the next four months, Carnival Legend will operate 16 European cruises, departing from Barcelona; Dover (London), in the United Kingdom; and Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy. Destinations include Spain, Portugal, the U.K., Iceland, Italy and Greece. In October, the ship will sail a transatlantic Carnival Journeys cruise to its new homeport of Tampa, Florida.
In 2025, Carnival Miracle will take over Carnival's Europe season, adding Lisbon, Portugal as a departure port.
