New Carnival Europe and Mediterranean Cruises for 2008
By Brian Janes

Here are the new Europe and Mediterranean cruise options available in 2008 from Carnival Cruises on board the Carnival Freedom and the brand new Carnival Splendour:

12 day Grand Mediterranean Cruise.

This popular cruise from Rome (Civitavecchia) visits Naples, Venice, Messina and Livorno. So, you\'ve got Italy covered from the Grand Canal to Mt. Etna, as well as the treasures of Florence and Pisa. But there\'s so much more. Like Croatia\'s walled city of Dubrovnik and the fantastic attractions of Barcelona, Spain. You\'ll visit Cannes, France, where you can take excursions to Nice, Monaco and Monte Carlo.

12 day Mediterranean & Greek Isles Cruise.

You\'ll sail from Rome to Naples, gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Next, Marmaris, Turkey, which has regular ferries to Rhodes. More Turkish delights await in lzmir, including the temple at Ephesus, and Istanbul with its minarets and mosques. You\'ll admire the glory that was Greece at the Parthenon in Athens and the Olympics site in Katakolon, and marvel at the great art of Florence and the tower in Pisa on excursions from Livorno.

New 12 day Northern Europe Cruise.

This six-country cruise takes you from London (Dover), England, to Denmark, Germany, Finland, Russia (two days in St. Petersburg), Estonia and The Netherlands. For almost two weeks you will be dazzled by The Little Mermaid, the Hermitage, Rembrandts, Van Goghs, ornate bridges, scenic canals and much more. This is your chance to visit world-famous cities that are as renowned for their their contemporary pleasures as they are for their historic pasts.

14 & 16 day Transatlantic Cruise:

Crossing the Atlantic \"Fun Ship\" style is one of the most thrilling of vacations, especially since we pamper you every nautical mile. In 2008, Carnival offers one 14 day Transatlantic crossing from Miami to Rome and two 6 day Transatlantic vacations from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale. These cruises visit unique destinations such as St. Maarten, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands.

On top of the fantastic itineraries, here are some of the amenities you\'ll find aboard both ships:

Two of Europe\'s most pampering spas.

Both ships feature a spectacular spa with a full menu of health and beauty services; a complete salon; and a state-of-the-art, ocean-view fitness center. The three-level, 40,000-square-foot Carnival Splendour spa even offers staterooms with private spa access. Guests booking these accommodations (many with balconies) will, of course, enjoy priority reservations. Both spas offer so many ways to indulge yourself before or after a day of thrilling sightseeing.

The finest supper clubs at sea.

Every night on either ship is special. But when you wish to dine in a more intimate setting with even more attentive service, we suggest the reservations-only supper club. Let them show you to your table at sunset or when the sky is crowded with stars. The unique menu offers you a choice of steak and seafood specialties. For your added pleasure, there\'s live music and dancing. And truly nothing is as romantic as waltzing at sea.

Super stars and a Sliding Sky Dome.

Hit movies are what you\'ll see on the huge outdoor screen of Carnival\'s Seaside Theatre, as well as sporting events and cartoons for the kids. By the way, you can see the brilliant picture day and night. Both ships have a Sliding Sky Dome over one of the pools (See? They don\'t let anything spoil your fun.)

They never forget the kids.

Especially on these ships. They\'ve expanded the Camp Carnival facility for children 2 to 11 and made it more central for parents. It even has a splashy, squishy, squirty water park. Kids 12 to 14 have their own activities at the popular Circle \"C\". And teens I5 to 17 have Club O2 for cool fun on board and ashore. All these programs are supervised, so you can relax. Plus, what could be better for kids than seeing Europe so early in life?
