Meet Carnival's latest ship.
- Carnival Cruise Lines just added its latest ship: the AIDAnova.
- It holds around 6,600 passengers and features a high ropes course, three water slides, a live TV studio, two private "islands," and 40 bars and restaurants.
- AIDAnova is also the first cruise ship in the world to run on liquefied natural gas, a clean-burning fossil fuel.
Carnival Cruise Lines and its German brand AIDA Cruises introduced the newest addition to their 100-plus fleet of ships: the AIDAnova.
AIDAnova was named on August 31 in front of 25,000 spectators at an open-air concert headlined by David Guetta. Along with a slew of on-board features, the AIDAnova is distinctive for being the first cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas, which is the world's cleanest burning fossil fuel.
The AIDAnova will embark on its maiden voyage in December. Here's a sneak peek of the gargantuan ship:
