The Conquest class is Carnival Cruise Line's five-ship workhorse design of the early 2000s, built by Fincantieri in Italy and delivered between 2002 and 2006 at a uniform 110,000 GT. Developed from the earlier Destiny platform, the class stretched that design into Carnival's largest ships of their day, organised around the line's signature mix of a multi-deck atrium, a broad promenade deck and densely programmed entertainment and dining spaces. All five ships — Carnival Conquest, Carnival Glory, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Valor and Carnival Freedom — were built for Carnival and remain with the line, a single-operator consistency that makes the class a clear snapshot of the Fun Ship formula at full size.
