Carnival Horizon is a Vista-class cruise ship built by Fincantieri and operated by Carnival Cruise Line as the 26th vessel in the fleet. Queen Latifah served as the ship's godmother and christened her upon her arrival in New York City following a transatlantic crossing. The vessel embarked on her maiden voyage from Barcelona in April 2018 for a 13-day Mediterranean sailing before repositioning to offer Caribbean and Bermuda cruises from New York and Miami.
