She was launched in 2000, as one of the largest cruise ships existing. Her sister, Carnival Destiny, was the largest passenger ship ever built as measured by gross tonnage, and the first passenger ship larger than the 1940-built RMS Queen Elizabeth. Victory's structure is similar to Destiny, although Carnival Triumph, and her both included an extra deck. Carnival Victory sailed out of New York upon launch, and is currently sailing 7-day cruises out of San Juan, PR.
