Carnival Jubilee, the first Carnival Cruise Line ship to be built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, has successfully completed its conveyance of the river Ems. The ship was transferred from the shipyard to Eemshaven, Netherlands, ahead of its upcoming sea trials.

The conveyance was a delicate operation, as the ship had to be carefully guided through narrow channels and under several bridges. Carnival Jubilee will now undergo sea trials to thoroughly test its technical, mechanical, and navigational systems.

The ship will then be outfitted with amenities for guests and will begin sailing from Galveston on December 23.

 Carnival Jubilee’s first revenue cruise will depart from Galveston on Dec. 23. The ship will sail weeklong cruises to popular Caribbean destinations, including Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico, as well as Mahogany Bay (Roatan). To see sailings currently open for sale, click here.
