Art Auctions
Champagne, Art, and Fun at Sea
A Carnival cruise ship isn't just about sun and sand - it also offers unique experiences, such as the exciting art auctions. Unlike traditional, stuffy auctions, these events are designed for maximum fun. Imagine sipping on a glass of free-flowing champagne while bidding on stunning works of art. From high-speed rounds of 'Lightning' bidding to the affordable 'under $500' event, there's something for everyone to enjoy. And don't worry if you're new to the auction world - interactive competitions like "Guess the Price" make it easy for anyone to participate. So forget about those old men in suits with monocles - on your Carnival ship, the art auction is all about having a good time while bringing home a unique souvenir.
