The Carnival Pride is the second of Carnival Cruise Line's successful Spirit Class of ships.  The Spirit class of ships was somewhat of a departure from most of Carnival's ships given that they are not only a variance from the other classes of ships but also having been constructed in Helsinki, Finland at Kværner Masa Yards.

The theme throughout the Carnival Pride is that of 'Icons of Beauty'.  Beauty is emphasized in a variety of forms and media aboard Carnival Pride.  In the main lobby, atrium, elevator, and stairwell areas, the central theme is that of the Italian Renaissance.  Guests can experience this through the reproduction murals by Botticelli, Raphael, and other Italian painters.

Guests can experience architectural details of Victorian England, Beaux Arts France, Renaissance Italy, the Byzantine Empires, and ancient Greece all within one walk through the ship.

Carnival Pride encompasses all of the modern elements that create the Carnival Cruise Line 'Fun Ship' experience.  Her interior touches on the fun and whimsy that past guests have come to love as well as incorporating classy and traditional elements.  Carnival Pride has typically sailed Caribbean, Mexico, and Panama Canal itineraries.
