Below you'll find a complete list of Carnival Ships by Size. From the cruise line's smallest ships (Carnival Elation & Paradise) to their most recently launched ship, the massive Carnival Jubilee.
You'll see a gigantic difference between Carnival's smallest and the largest ship in their fleet. Scroll to the bottom of our sizing chart. You'll find that earlier ships were less than half the size of today's largest Carnival ships. To say, "my how you've grown" would be an understatement.
The drastic change in size can also be measured by "passenger count." Max capacity spans a range from 2,600 guests to over 6,600 passengers for Carnival's largest cruise ship, the Carnival Celebration.
First, we have to clear something up. We're measuring Carnival ships size by the metric, "Gross Tonnage." This always causes a bit of confusion amongst our community members. It's not simply "weight" that determines this size measurement. The definition is technical and boring, but we'll provide it anyway.
GROSS TONNAGE
A nonlinear measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Gross tonnage is calculated based on the moulded volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship and is used to determine things such as a ship's manning regulations, safety rules, registration fees, and port dues, whereas the older gross register tonnage is a measure of the volume of only certain enclosed spaces.
We told you it was boring! So why do we use this measurement to determine Carnival Ships Size? As noted above, it's used for safety rules and whatnot. As such, it's prevalent. Every passenger cruise ship will have this measurement. That makes it easy to compare ship size across ship, class, line and more. We've also used it to compare across cruise lines to bring you the list of the largest cruise ships in the world. Ok, we're done with today's maritime measurement course. Here's the good stuff!
Carnival Ships by Size
Largest to Smallest
Click above to pin this Carnival Cruise Ships by Size Infograph to your cruise planning board, so you can refer back to it when choosing your next ship!
That's every Carnival Cruise Ship currently active in their fleet, along with a couple newer ships coming down the pipeline. You can see the vast difference in ship size. This is particularly dramatic when looking at Carnival's newest planned ship, the Carnival Celebration! Here's a visual representation showing the smallest of the fleet vs this new behemoth.
The experience on these two ships will be completely different! On the Carnival Celebration, you'll be lucky to experience half of the venues on this largest, active Carnival cruise ship. Whereas the smaller ships offer a more quaint and personal experience.
In just a day or two, you'll have your bearings and likely a fixed routine on these ships. Which is better? That's all going to depend on personal preferences! Some say "size matters." Others say, it's the "motion in the ocean" that is more important. We'll let you decide!
We've create a new post to see how these ships rank on a global scale. Carnival has a showing (albeit small) on the list of the 20 Largest Cruise Ships in the World!

We're constantly asked about Carnival's ships and size statistics. Here are the most frequently asked questions for your convenience!
FAQs
Carnival Ships by Size Most Asked Questions
The largest active vessel in Carnival's fleet is the Carnival Celebration. She weighs in at 183,521 gross tons. However, the Celebration will soon share this title with the planned Carnival Jubilee. The sister ship will be completed in 2023.
Carnival's smallest, active cruise ship is the Carnival Paradise with a gross tonnage measuring 70,367. The smallest ship that has sailed with the cruise line was significantly smaller. The original Carnival Mardi Gras (built in 1961) was 1/3rd the size, at 18,261 GT.
Carnival's fleet varies in size as seen from our chart. The smallest, active ship holds 3,526 total passengers (including staff) and measures 855 feet in length. The Carnival Celebration, in comparison, holds 8,375 passengers and spans 1,130 feet in length. For reference, the Eiffel Tower is roughly 900 feet high!
Often we're asked if size affects price. The cost of a Carnival cruise isn't directly correlated with size. You won't find that the bigger the ship, the more the cost. Nor will you find the opposite. You won't necessarily pay less for the largest Carnival ship vs the smallest. It will all depend on the specific itinerary and often the ship age. Newer ships tend to cost more per sailing.
We hope that the above list of Carnival Ships by size help you to find your ideal cruise.
