Carnival Sensation Headed to Scrapyard

Carnival Sensation is officially on her final voyage. The ship is now en route across the Atlantic Ocean towards the scrapyard in Turkey.

We first reported last month that Carnival had sold the ship to the recycling facility for an estimated 11 million dollars.

Carnival Sensation debuted in 1993, and was the third of eight Fantasy-class ships.

When Carnival Ecstasy also exits the fleet later this year, only two Fantasy-classes will remain: Elation and Paradise.
