Another workhorse from Carnival Corp's flagship brand has departed the Caribbean for Turkey, and is believed to be heading for recycling.
Vessel tracking data showed that Carnival Cruise Line’s 70,400-gt Carnival Inspiration (built 1996) was entering the Atlantic on Monday morning and heading for Izmir, a port close to the Turkish shipbreaking hub of Aliaga.
Cruise industry sources said the 2,054-passenger ship had undergone unloading of items on board in Willemstad, Curacao, before setting off on what is believed to be its final voyage.
