As you explore the Mediterranean or Caribbean, take time to explore the Carnival Magic — a ship clearly worthy of its name. At 1,004 feet in length and a full 130,000 tons of fun, there’s plenty of space for all the, well, magic there is to experience aboard Carnival Magic!
Carnival Magic is the ship that introduced:

SportSquare, the fitness-and-fun area featuring the first ropes course at sea.
Cucina del Capitano, Carnival’s first-of-its-kind onboard Italian family-style dining experience.
Cherry on Top, our sweet new candy-and-more store.
RedFrog Pub, featuring Carnival’s own ThirstyFrog Red — not to mention Caribbean-inspired appetizers, food and rum flights.

Carnival Magic also features these fun favorites:

Ocean Plaza, the indoor/outdoor space where you’re never far from ocean breezes, tasty snacks, or live music.
Carnival WaterWorks, a really big, really wet, really fun water park featuring two waterslides!
The Lanai, a convenient wraparound walkway on the promenade… and home of the hot tub.
Prime Steakhouse, serving your choice of dry-aged steak or seafood entrees, not to mention gourmet appetizers, salads, soups and desserts.
Serenity Adult-Only Area, where kids are neither seen nor heard.
Camp Carnival, Circle “C” and Club O2, where kids can be kids (and teens, teens).

The new Carnival Magic departs Messina, Italy, Thursday, May 5, 2011, during its nine-day inaugural cruise. The ship accommodates 3,690 passengers and was built in Italy. Carnival Magic is to operate a schedule of seven- to 12-day Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona this summer. Owned by Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines, the vessel is to be repositioned in November to Galveston, Texas, for year-round seven-day Caribbean cruises.
