Delivery highlights success
Article Abstract:
Kvaerner-Masa Yards's delivery of Fantasy-class cruise liner Elation to Carnival Cruise Lines Inc highlights the tremendous success of this family of passenger ships. Carnival has ordered a total of eight Fantasy-class ships, with Elation being the penultimate vessel in the series. The company attributes the success of the series largely to the ability of Kvaerner-Masa to interpret the requirements of Carnival and to the work and cooperation of interior designer Joe Farcus.
