<p>The new 130,000-ton Carnival Dream &ndash; Carnival Cruise Lines&rsquo; largest ship set to debut Sept. 21 &ndash; will offer a host of innovations, including the largest adults-only retreat in the line&rsquo;s fleet.<span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;Created as an oceangoing oasis for relaxation, the Carnival Dream&rsquo;s 11,250-square-foot Serenity area will encompass two levels &ndash; a first for the line &ndash; and accommodate up to 200 guests who can select from seven different styles of seating, from plush chaise lounges and chairs to shaded sun loungers and even hammocks. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;Carnival Dream&rsquo;s Serenity area will also feature a full bar on the lower level in a shaded area, while the upper level will offer two whirlpools providing magnificent sea views.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Design-wise, Serenity will offer a decidedly understated theme with decorative latticework, teak-style decking, and other contemporary features, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and comfort.&nbsp; The Serenity experience will be enhanced by a series of custom windscreens specially created for this area.</p>
<p>Spanning the forward section of Sun Deck 14 and Sky Deck 15, Serenity is accessible via a glass elevator within Carnival Dream&rsquo;s expansive 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa, as well as by two staircases.</p>
<p>Carnival Dream is set to debut Sept. 21 with a series of 12-day Mediterranean cruises followed by a trans-Atlantic crossing and two eight-day voyages from New York.&nbsp; Carnival Dream will then reposition to Port Canaveral, Fla., for a special nine-day cruise then launch year-round seven-day Caribbean service Dec. 12.</p>
