Carnival Triumph to Become Carnival Sunrise

Render of Carnival Sunrise

Carnival just announced that the Triumph will enter a 60-day drydock and will emerge as the Carnival Sunrise. The $200 million drydock will take place in Cadiz, Spain next March.

Structurally they will redo the forward-top superstructure adding more balconies. However, unlike her sister Carnival Sunrise, they paid attention to her physical appearance and will style it a bit differently. Due to the increase in weight and height on the bow, they will be adding a ducktail to her.

As comparison, here’s what her sister looks like. You can tell she’ll look a bit better.

Here are all the additions that they will be adding (via Carnival):
