Carnival Legend is a Spirit-class cruise ship built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Helsinki, Finland, and christened by Dame Judi Dench in Harwich in 2002. Her maiden voyage marked Carnival's first cruise in Europe, a three-night journey from Harwich to Amsterdam and return. The ship was notable for being the first Carnival vessel to offer alternative dining options and an onboard wedding chapel, with eighty percent of its staterooms featuring ocean views and private balconies.
