The Carnival Destiny was built in 1996. She became the world's largest ship until 1998. She was also the first passenger ship to be built over 100,000 gross tons. A second similar sister ship, the Carnival Triumph, was launched with one additional deck in 1999. A third and final sister ship, the Carnival Victory, was launched in 2000. The Carnival Triumph and Carnival Victory are part of the Triumph-class. After the Destiny-class, Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises have built larger variations based on the Destiny-class ships.
The 2 ships below have an additional deck.
These ships are not part of the Destiny-class. However, these ships are modified versions based on the designs and plans of the Carnival Triumph.
These two ships that sail for Costa are nearly identical to the Carnival Triumph and the Carnival Victory. These ships have a tonnage of 105,000-GT.
These five ships are similar to the design of the Carnival Triumph. In addition, these ships were built 59 feet longer than the Carnival Triumph. The only other noticeable differences from the Destiny Class is the structure in and around the top decks. These ships are stated at being around 110,000-GT.
These four ships are similar to the Conquest-class vessels. Except, most of the overall design of starting from deck 9 to the top has been redesigned. These ships have a different design for the midship pool and for the spa and children's centers. All four ships are marketed as having the largest spa afloat. The redesign increased the ship's size to 114,500-GT.
