Concordia class cruise ship
Encyclopedia
The Concordia class is a class of cruise ships that are operated by Costa Cruises
and Carnival Cruise Lines
, subsidiaries of Carnival Corporation & plc
.
Carnival operates only a single vessel in this class, the Carnival Splendor, which is marketed as a Splendor-class ship. However, the Carnival Splendor is based on the Concordia class. , there are five ships sailing in this class, while another ship is on order.
The ship's design is based on the design of Carnival's Conquest-class fleet of ships.
However, their design from lido(pool) deck up to the top deck was enlarged and redesigned. The most notable difference is the structure around the main pool. The main pool features a glass exterior on both sides of the ship. A retractable roof was also added for the main pool. Another notable difference is the enlargement of its spa facilities. Each ship has a 21,000-ft2 (2,000-m2) wellness facility. Additional spa cabins were also included into the Concordia-Class.
