What You’ll Love About Carnival Conquest
Carnival Conquest is no ordinary cruise ship; it’s a masterpiece of fun.
Launched in 2002 and renovated in 2009, this ship is part of the Conquest-class family and draws its design roots from the Destiny-class ships. With a capacity of nearly 3,000 guests and a crew of over 1,100 to cater to your every need, Carnival Conquest sails to the beautiful Bahamas and Caribbean, offering 2-5 day cruises packed with excitement.
While its design is inspired by the port city of New Orleans, you don’t need to be an art connoisseur to appreciate the French Impressionist vibes that flow through the ship’s décor. Adorned with replicas of famous works by Degas, Renoir, Monet, and more, the Conquest mixes high art with Carnival’s signature “fun ship” atmosphere.
But don’t worry; you won’t need to memorize any art history. Here, it’s all about enjoying the ambiance, from stunning murals to Murano-glass sculptures.
