Carnivalβs Next New Ship Closer to Completion with December Debut in Sight
Carnival Jubilee, debuting inΒ TexasΒ in December, successfully finished a nautical feat as the first Carnival Cruise Line ship to complete a conveyance of the river Ems in northwest Germany. The firstΒ CarnivalΒ ship built at Meyer Werft,Β Carnival JubileeΒ was successfully transferred from the German shipyard in Papenburg to Eemshaven, Netherlands ahead of its upcoming sea trials.
To complete the conveyance, an experienced team at the helm of Carnival Jubilee sailed the Ems backwards toward the North Sea β departing Papenburg early Monday morning with the support of two tugboats to help with maneuverability.
The highly trained pilots, with the use of state-of-the-art technology, carefully guided the ship through narrow channels and under several bridges before arriving in Eemshaven early Tuesday morning, ahead of the first round of sea trials which begin on Nov. 5.Β
Carnival Jubilee will be led and manned during the sea trials by a full contingent of officers, technicians, and engineers on board to thoroughly test its technical, mechanical, and navigational systems.
