In brief
Carnival Adventure is a Grand-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. The ship was previously named Golden Princess and Pacific Adventure. She was built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri at Monfalcone, delivered in 2001, and christened by Merlisa George in Saint Thomas in April 2002. While operating as Golden Princess, she has sailed to all seven continents, beginning with her debut in Southampton in May 2001, followed by seasonal deployments serving regions around the Caribbean Sea and Europe. In 2007, she circumnavigated South America and debuted along the West Coast of the United States before also sailing around ports in Asia and Oceania bordering the Pacific Ocean until 2020. In 2017, Carnival Corporation announced Golden Princess would be transferred from Princess to sister brand P&O Cruises Australia as a part of P&O's fleet renewal. As Pacific Adventure, sailing itineraries included those around Oceania along with her sister ship Pacific Encounter. In 2024, Carnival Corporation announced that P&O would be integrated into its sister line, Carnival Cruise Line, in March 2025 and cease to exist. As of March 2025, Pacific Adventure was transferred to Carnival and renamed Carnival Adventure respectively.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 108,806 gross tons, Pacific Adventure is the 2,760th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 18 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 107th by tonnage — larger than 79% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
United Kingdom is the country of registry for 2,394 vessels in this directory, of which Pacific Adventure is the 48th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,835 ships), and the median vessel measures 2,515 GT. Browse every ship flagged United Kingdom.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 37 cruise ships flying the United Kingdom flag, of which 5 are larger by tonnage.
Pacific Adventure was built in 2001, making it 25 years old. It is one of 1,268 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 14,062 GT; within it this ship is the 28th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 289.0 m overall, Pacific Adventure is 90.9 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 36.0 m and a draft of 8.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9192351 this registry holds 61 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1998 to 2007. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2001.
Its IMO number, 9192351, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 9×5 + 2×4 + 3×3 + 5×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
