Carnival Elation (formerly Elation) is a Fantasy-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Finland, she was floated out on January 4, 1998, and christened as Elation by Shari Arison Dorsman. Her inaugural cruise began March 20, 1998.[1] During 2007, in common with all of her Fantasy-class sisters, she had the prefix Carnival added to her name.[2] Carnival Elation is currently sailing 4+5 day cruises to the Bahamas from Jacksonville.
