Holiday (Holiday Class)

These are the cruise ships that ushered in more than two decades of fun at sea, and the party hasn't stopped. The colorful interiors still deliver a lot of punch.

Similar in design and layout, these mid-size ships represent the first wave of superliner construction undertaken by Carnival Cruise Line. Amazing as it may seem, in some regards they are almost old-fashioned by today's mainstream standards.

Board with an open mind. These ships sail from pathfinder embarkation ports for a good reason. They are the oldest vessels in the fleet and were assigned to drive-up markets to test the waters. Although there are no connecting cabins, you'll find wide-open casinos where you won't feel crowded.
