Carnival's next mega ship begins sea trials
Carnival Cruise Line's next giant cruise ship has begun her first set of sailings aimed at testing the ship's seaworthiness.
The Mardi Gras departed the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland on Monday morning to spend the next 10 days at sea.
Once her sea trials are complete, she will return to the dock for final preparations for its departure for the U.S.
Mardi Gras will be the first ship powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in North America.
