Carnival Victory is the third of the five Destiny-class cruise ships. Like all members of the Destiny class other than the lead ship, which was refitted and renamed Carnival Sunshine in 2013, she is a modified version of that lead ship, and is therefore sometimes referred to as a Triumph-class cruise ship, in an allusion to the second member of the Destiny class, Carnival Triumph.Along with Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Triumph, Carnival Victory is operated by Carnival Cruise Line.
