Fantasy Class Cruise Ship Front (Not Carnival Imagination) The Carnival Imagination has officially left Carnival's fleet and has now been run aground at a scrapyard in Aliaga, Turkey. Videos have started to surface on You-Tube that showed the Carnival Inspiration being run-aground (beached) at the ship recycling and scrapyard. This ship beaching comes only a few weeks after the Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Inspiration were run-aground at the same scrapyard. All three ships are beached/run-aground next to each other.
The Carnival Imagination entered service for Carnival in 1995 and was built in the Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Finland. When the Carnival Inspiration entered service, it was the 5th ship out of 8 in Carnival's Fantasy class.
