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.[3][5] Her maiden voyage, Carnival's first cruise in Europe, was a three-night journey from Harwich to Amsterdam and return.[6]
Eighty percent of Carnival Legend's staterooms have ocean views and eighty percent of those have private balconies.[7] She was the first Carnival ship to offer alternative dining options and an onboard wedding chapel.[8]
