With the 130,000-ton Carnival Dream set to debut in Europe September 21, 2009, the finishing touches are being made to the ship’s interior spaces at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.

Following a series of 12-day Mediterranean voyages and eight-day sailings from New York, Carnival Dream will reposition to Port Canaveral to operate a special nine-day cruise before launching year-round seven-day Caribbean service Dec. 12.
