The 133,500-tonne cruise ship Carnival Horizon has departed on her maiden journey from Barcelona.
Fincantieri's shipyard at Monfalcone delivered the Vista-class vessel to Carnival Cruise Line last week.
The second in the line's Vista class, Carnival Horizon caters for 3,954 passengers.
Carnival Horizon features SkyRide, an IMAX theatre, a Dr Seuss-themed WaterWorks aqua park and various food and beverage outlets.
The third vessel in the series, Carnival Panorama, is under construction and scheduled to enter service in November 2019.
