Carnival Magic

 Mediterranean Cruise

The launch of the Carnival Dream Mediterranean cruises in September 2009 sent pleasure waves through the regular cruisers of the world, as the ship boasted of swanky on board amenities along with the mind boggling 11,250 square foot plus Serenity area for adults. Mediterranean cruises are so spectacular that cruisers do not mind digging deep into their pockets to book luxury Mediterranean cruises. The Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise, the second induction from Carnival’s fleet in this category, plans to make Mediterranean cruises even more interesting.

The Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise included the best of the Dream vessel, and goes many steps further. Imagine a Seaside Theatre to enjoy on your Mediterranean cruises! The Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise makes this dream a reality. And the ‘Cloud 9’ spa is in the same extraordinary league. The WaterWorks aqua park is a simply stunning amusement area with two exhilarating water slides, the corkscrew and the ‘bowl’ slide. The accommodations on the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise are extremely spacious and can easily accommodate an extended family. The provision of two bathrooms means that the convenience of the boarders is ensured.

The Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise launch would open up the gates to the line’s first time venture in its own pub, with a signature beer in the offering. To add to it, the cruise line is planning on an all new Italian restaurant where foodies can enjoy handmade pasta. Another first timer in the form of the dump bucket water slide adds on to the sense of expectation building around the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise. Outdoor recreation gets a new definition with the overwhelming adventure menu of the Carnival line Mediterranean cruises, the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise included. The much talked about vessel would flaunt a SportSquare outdoor activity area with a ropes course at the sea. You could also spend a breezy afternoon teaming up with pals and sweating it out in a friendly soccer game. Of course, you could throw all caution to the wind and go for the daring airborne adventure over the top deck of the ship. Also, there are less crazy amusements such as ping pong and foosball tables. The Sky Fitness outdoor fitness centre adds a new dimension to on board health amenities. Luxury scales new height on the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise, which has a two level mini golf course to pamper the tasteful gamers.
 
The May to October season will be all alive and buzzing, with all major Mediterranean cruises cashing in on the peak period. However, all eyes will be on the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise, which is raring to make a scintillating debut on the calm blue Mediterranean waters. Setting out from Barcelona, the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise will call at ports like Monte Carlo, Rome, Naples, Palma, Venice, Messina and Marseilles. There would be three 7 day, six 9 day and eight 12 day Mediterranean cruises from the Carnival Magic Mediterranean Cruise. It will be really interesting to see how the dream vessel fares at the ocean.
