Carnival has unveiled more food and beverage venues aboard the new Mardi Gras, scheduled to launch in August 2020. Its inaugural season, including weeklong Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, is available to book now at discounts of up to 76%.

In addition to the first seagoing restaurant from celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse and the second Carnival outlet of Big Chicken from Shaquille O'Neal, the line's "Chief Fun Officer," the Mardi Gras will host new Carnival concepts.

Street Eats will offer complimentary global street food at three kiosks (one each for fried, steamed and skillet bites), with options like empanadas, Chinese dumplings and kebabs.

The Norwegian Getaway is cruising the Baltic after completing an extensive refurbishment this summer. Inaugurated in 2014, it's the youngest Norwegian ship sailing in Europe this season.

A two-week dry dock in France refreshed staterooms and public spaces, added nearly 800 new works of art and brought new venues on board, like Syd Norman's Pour House, inspired by rock clubs and featuring tribute bands performing hits from the '60s, '70s,  and '80s.

The Norwegian Getaway will cruise Northern Europe until late October, then return to the U.S. and homeport in New Orleans for the first time for Caribbean sailings.

Regent has planned 65 new European shore excursions that initially will be offered exclusively to passengers who sail aboard the Seven Seas Splendor during its inaugural 2020 season.

The new shore excursions provide an array of exceptional experiences. Fly in a helicopter over the countryside outside Monaco to lunch in a restaurant owned by famed chef Alain Ducasse, for example, or ride high-speed ziplines down Kozjak Mountain in Croatia. Join a master class in Scottish cooking in Greenock, drive a vintage car along the Italian Riviera from Portofino or go behind the scenes at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. The excursions will roll out to all Regent ships in Europe starting in 2021.

The Seven Seas Splendor debuts February 25, 2020, with all balcony staterooms, a Canyon Ranch Spa and a Culinary Arts Kitchen offering hands-on instruction.
