''Carnival Triumph'' is the second of the five member of cruise ships. As she and her three younger sisters are each a modified version of the lead ship in the class, which was refitted and renamed ''Carnival Sunshine'' in 2013, she is sometimes referred to as the first of the ''Triumph''-class of cruise ships. Along with her sisters ''Carnival Sunshine'' and ''Carnival Victory'', she is operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Fincantieri at its Monfalcone shipyard in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy, she was floated out on October 23, 1999, and christened by Madeline Arison, wife of Micky Arison, the then CEO of Carnival Cruise Line.

The ship has one of the first seagoing mobile phone systems, called "Cellular at Sea", provided by WMS (Wireless Maritime Services), a joint venture of AT&T and MTN (Maritime Telecommunications Network).
