A shot from further distance gives you an idea of the sheer size of this undertaking.

Clearances can be tight when dealing with pieces this large.

Carnival Dream Construction

BUILDING A DREAM

Set to debut in Europe September 21, 2009, the new 130,000-ton Carnival Dream is beginning to take shape at Fincantieri’s Monfalcone shipyard. Pictured below are some of the upper decks being pieced together as construction continues on the 3,646-passenger "Fun Ship."

The largest Carnival Cruise Lines ship ever constructed, Carnival Dream will offer a variety of on board amenities and features including a huge WaterWorks aqua park and "scenic whirlpools" that extend over the ship’s beam. A number of innovative stateroom accommodations, including a two-bathroom configuration that will be ideal for families, will also be offered.

Following its European debut, the massive SuperLiner will offer two voyages from New York and then reposition to Port Canaveral, Fla., for year-round 7 day Caribbean cruises beginning Dec. 5, 2009.
