Carnival Victory Becomes Carnival Radiance
It’s official. Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Victory has finally been renamed Carnival Radiance.
The project, which was first announced a couple years ago and held up because of the shutdown and shipyard delays, is now moving full speed ahead. The vessel is now in the final stages of a $200 million bow-to-stern makeover in Cadiz, Spain.
Radiance is set to debut in Long Beach, California in early December.
