Built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Helsinki, Finland, she was floated out on April 1, 1996, and christened as Inspiration by Mary Anne Shula.[5] During 2007, in common with all of her Fantasy-class sisters, she had the prefix Carnival added to her name[6] and had some passenger areas and facilities were refurbished.[7]
In July 2020, Carnival sold Carnival Inspiration, along with her sister ship Carnival Fantasy.[8] Cruise Radio reported that Carnival Inspiration will likely be scrapped in Turkey.[9] She made her final voyage from Long Beach and arrived at Aliağa on August 5, 2020[1] and by August 26, was being dismantled.[10] Scrapping started on her on 5 April 2021, and concluded around January 2022.[citation needed]
