Carnival Fascination, originally Fascination, was a cruise ship built at Helsinki, Finland in 1994. For most of her service with Carnival Cruise Lines she operated out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2017 Carnival Fascination was chartered to the US Government to assist with hurricane relief work in the Virgin Islands. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic the ship was withdrawn from service and in November that year sold for conversion to a hotel ship for Century Harmony Cruise Ltd, that renamed her Century Harmony. However in October 2021 she was sold for scrapping, arriving at Gadani, Pakistan as Y Harmony in February 2022. Carnival Cruise Line The ship was the fourth of Carnival Cruise Lines' built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Finland. She was floated out on July 1, 1994, and christened Fascination by Jeanne Farcus. The ship was registered under the Panamanian flag and mostly home-ported in San Juan, Puerto Rico, sailing in the Caribbean year-round. In 2000 her port of registry was changed to Nassau, under the Bahamas flag. During 2007, in common with all of her Fantasy-class sisters, she had the prefix Carnival added to her name. After the destruction caused in the United States Virgin Islands by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Carnival Fascination was chartered to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from October 15, 2017 until February 3, 2018 to house relief workers at St Croix. This charter cost FEMA $74.7 million. At the end of the charter, the ship was given a further refit prior to returning to Carnival's services out of Puerto Rico. In July 2020, as a result of Carnival Cruise Line reducing fleet capacity, Carnival Fascination entered a long term lay-up, with no planned date for the ship to return to service. In November 2020, the cruise line announced that the ship had been sold to Century Harmony Cruise Ltd.
