WOW, A Legend is Coming to Europe
December 3, 2018
Carnival Cruise Lines have just announced they are returning to Europe for the 2020 cruising season. They last sailed in Europe in April 2018 when they launched Carnival Horizon. She was built in Italy so it made sense to do a small selection of sailings in April in the Med before she sailed to New York on the 9th May.
For the 2020 season Carnival are committing to an extensive programme from June to October with sailings ranging from 9 to 16 Nights, Carnival Legend is set to visit 34 ports in 14 countries and Carnival have put a huge emphasis on “off the beaten track” destinations and experiences. Legend will call at Greenland, Norway, Iceland, Greece, Portugal & Croatia.
One of the unique points of the Carnival Legend itineraries is they will sail from multiple ports, Dover to Barcelona, Venice to Barcelona, which makes for some really nice pre & post hotel stays.
About Carnival Legend:
Carnival Legend is a mid size ship who had her inaugural sailing in August 2002. She is fresh from dry dock after having a major refurbishment in May 2018.
If you’re out to find new legends, flip directly to the RedFrog Pub, where the Caribbean atmosphere will set the scene for all that’s ahead of you. Your journey down the Green Thunder waterslide will certainly get your adrenaline flowing. Which might just lead you to have a look — not to mention a taste — at the cocktail magic of Alchemy Bar.
Have a splash in the Camelot and Avalon pools, Try your luck at Club Merlin Casino, or taste something savory at Truffles Restaurant. Bonsai Sushi serves the best delicacies from the sea. There’s something to tempt everyone at Lido Deck’s Unicorn Café, including gourmet burgers at Guy’s Burger Joint and fresh Mexican taco-burrito at the Blue Iguana Cantina. If it’s steak you fancy you won’t beat The Golden Fleece Steakhouse.
Carnival Legend Avalon PoolEntertainment is not stop with Billie’s Piano Bar. Get your groove on at the will Lip Sync Battle. Kids will tell and retell their tale of their favourite holiday, spent meeting new friends at one of three supervised youth areas. And adults can get lost in a good book, or just relax, at the kid-free Serenity Adult Only Area… and then dance the night away at Medusa’s Lair Dance Club.
