Carnival Legend is a Spirit-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Helsinki, Finland, she was floated out on December 17, 2001, and christened by English actress and author Dame Judi Dench in Harwich, Essex, UK, on August 21, 2002. Her maiden voyage, Carnival's first cruise in Europe, was a three-night journey from Harwich to Amsterdam and return.

Eighty percent of Carnival Legend's staterooms have ocean views and eighty percent of those have private balconies. She was the first Carnival ship to offer alternative dining options and an onboard wedding chapel.

Ports of call

In 2013, Carnival Legend offered a series of Baltic and Mediterranean cruises from April to November. The ship then offered 7-day cruises to the Western Caribbean from Tampa, Florida.

Following the success of the Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend underwent a major dry-dock refurbishment in February 2014. In August 2014, she departed Tampa and made her way through the Panama Canal to reposition to Australia. From 2014 to 2019, Carnival Legend sailed seasonally from Sydney on 8-day/12-day cruises to the Pacific Islands from September to April and cruised around Alaska from Seattle in the summer seasons.
