Carnival Magic
“A Dream-class classic bringing big-ship fun to the heart of Miami.”
Carnival Magic entered service in 2011 as the third and final ship in Carnival's Dream class, and after more than a decade at sea she remains one of the line's most consistently popular vessels. Homeported year-round in Miami, she offers easy access to the Eastern and Western Caribbean for travellers flying into South Florida. Following a recent refurbishment, Carnival Magic features an updated Lido restaurant, a redesigned casino, and a revamped WaterWorks aquapark — all layered on top of the spacious, resort-style Dream-class layout that made her a fleet favourite from day one.
SportsSquare — a dedicated open-air sports deck with a ropes course, mini golf course, and a suspended bike-riding-style attraction, giving active passengers more to do than on most ships her age.
