Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of shorter, less expensive cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas-style decor and entertainment. The line calls its ships "The Fun Ships", and there are a wide range of activities offered on board. Its trademark is the funnel, which is red, white and blue and shaped like a whale's tail. Carnival has the largest fleet in the group, with 25 vessels currently in operation. There are four ships scheduled to be delivered in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022.
