Carnival Spirit's interior design, celebrates world's great architectural styles. From art nouveau to postmodern to funky to Egyptian, the public rooms on the newest ship, the Carnival Spirit, celebrate a wide variety of architectural styles in their interior-design themes. As the Carnival Spirit represents a new class of "Fun Ship", its interior design reinvents the traditional central thematic idea by creating a mood of diversity through a synthesis of highly divergent décors.

"Although the central idea for this ship could be called 'noteworthy décor styles,' it's really a very abstract unifying theme," said Joe Farcus, interior architect for the "Fun Ship" fleet.

"There is a main decorative style used in each of the public rooms - Chinese in one, art deco in another, for example - however, the styles are not necessarily executed in a traditional manner, but rather are more interpretive," he added.

The Spirit Lobby and some public areas are decorated in the art deco style, which uses sleek, graceful lines and slender organic forms. The lobby houses two grand staircases, a bar with dance floor and the information and tour desks. Rich wood and antiqued copper are used extensively in the lobby, stairwells and elevator bays. Railings are a lacy cast copper, stained glass domes in the ceiling provide diffused lighting, and the walls and elevators combine wood, handmade etched plates, marble inlaid frames and embossed copper trimmings.

Art Nouveau – стиль модерн (художественный и архитектурный стиль конца XIX - начала XX вв.)

It is located at the top of a soaring nine-deck-highatrium and housed under a red tinted glass dome. Art nouveauis characterized by dense, winding floral forms in a linear arrangement. It incorporates organic shapes – vines, leaves, flowers, branches – into abstracted architectural elements.

In the supper club, pillars are shaped like flower buds in a Tiffany-like design using antiqued copper for the stems and leaves. Thefloral pattern is carried out throughout the room in hand-painted wall murals, the stained glass balcony on the upper level and the bud-shaped bar stools. On one side of the room is a beverage bar, and on the other, a display cooking area with bar stools, so guests can watch the cooks at work. The circular, two-level room has a stage for entertainers, as well as a dance floor.

There is the Chippendale Library on board theCarnival Spirit. Named after Thomas Chippendale, the 15^th-century English style of furniture is recognized by its graceful lines and rococo ornamentation.
