Including Carnival Splendor, there are currently five ships sailing in the Concordia class.

[1] Carnival Splendor experienced a fire in her engine room on November 8, 2010, resulting in a loss of all electrical power and stranding the vessel with almost 4,500 on board.

[2] Costa Concordia sank on January 13, 2012, after running aground shortly off the coast of Tuscany, resulting in 32 fatalities (33 including the later death of a salvage worker).

The ship had departed from Civitavecchia on a seven-day Mediterranean cruise with 3,229 passengers and a crew of 1,023.

[3] Although the ship had sunk only partially and next to the shore, the evacuation was chaotic and her captain was subsequently arrested on preliminary charges of multiple manslaughter in connection with not only causing a shipwreck, but also failing to assist 300 passengers and failing to be the last to leave the wreck.
