The most surprising Carnival ship now up for sale is the Carnival Sunrise. The ship is part of the Sunshine-class and underwent a huge transformation from the Carnival Triumph in Spring 2019. The ship which originally entered service for the cruise line in 1999 is up for sale at Ferry & Cruise Shipbrokers for $350 million. However, since the listing was first found it has been removed which could mean an agreement has been made or Carnival has decided to remove for another reason. [links]
The ship is 70,367 gross tons and has a guest capacity of 2,056 at double occupancy. Her most recent upgrade was in October 2019 which was mainly general maintenance with the only real highlight of a new Bonsai Sushi Express being added. here
The ship last underwent a refurbishment in 2019 but it wasn’t a major update and mainly just general maintenance and essentials. Carnival Fantasy was built in Finland and is 70,367 gross tons with a passenger capacity of 2,056 at double occupancy. more
Before getting into which cruise ships might be sold off it is important to know that nothing has actually been confirmed by the cruise line and even though some ships have recently appeared on brokerage sites nothing is yet set in stone until an official announcement.
Carnival Inspiration is another of the Fantasy-class vessels but this ship is among the newest in the class and entered service in 1996. Just like her sister ships, she is starting to show her age and fall behind compared to the newer more advanced vessels now entering service. here
The vessel originally set sail in 1985. It weighs 46,052 tons, can cater to 1,860 passengers, and generally had between 660 and 670 crew members on board, according to the listing on the CW Kellock and Co. website. Its length is between 727 and 733 feet and has 12 decks. [links]
According to The Points Guy, London-based ship auctioneer CW Kellock & Co. is listing one of Carnival Cruise Line’s earliest vessels, the Holiday, next month. If you happen to have a couple million dollars lying around, it could be all yours. here

One of Carnival's earliest cruise ships is going up for auction in the UK.
It’s currently the second oldest Carnival ship that still exists today. CW Kellock & Co. has a number of other vessels that are going up for auction in October, including the Vasco Da Gama, the Columbus, the Astor, and the Marco Polo, according to CruiseHive. All of these vessels other than the Marco Polo are docked in Port Tilbury in Essex, England. here
