MIAMI, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The official naming ceremony of Carnival Cruise Lines' new cruise ship Carnival Dream featuring Academy Award- and Tony Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden in the role of the ship's godmother will be broadcast live on the company's web site, www.carnival.com/dream, beginning at 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, Nov. 12.

Live streaming video of the invitation-only event will include an exhilarating dance performance, a nearly six-foot-tall champagne bottle and some other unexpected surprises. The ceremony will be hosted by Carnival's Senior Cruise Director John Heald while the 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream is docked in New York City.

A live chat offering viewers an opportunity to ask questions about the Carnival Dream and comment on the festivities will take place during the webcast as well.

The Carnival Dream web portal, www.carnival.com/dream, also features exclusive photos and videos of the ship's wide-ranging facilities and features. Interviews on the site include various shipboard personnel, as well as Carnival's interior architect Joe Farcus who describes his thought process in designing the line's largest ship.

The 130,000-ton Carnival Dream ushers in an exciting new era in "Fun Ship" cruising, offering a host of innovations. These include Carnival WaterWorks, an expansive aqua park featuring the longest water slide at sea; Ocean Plaza, a stunning indoor/outdoor cafe and live entertainment venue; more than 19,000 square feet of space dedicated to children and families; and a 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa, the largest in the line's fleet.

Carnival Dream debuted in Europe Sept. 21 and will operate a series of voyages from New York before repositioning to Port Canaveral, Fla., to begin year-round Caribbean service Dec. 3.
