Carnival Ship at Sea

Carnival Cruise Line has today announced further details regarding its current pause in cruise operations, including announcing it is going to gradually phase back into service selected ships in certain markets.

The plan is to resume service in North America this summer, beginning on August 1 with a total of eight ships from Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston.  In connection with this plan, our pause in operations will be extended in all other North American and Australian markets through August 31.

At present Carnival is in the process of returning crew members home in an unprecedented once in a life time meeting of 18 Carnival ships of the coast of the Bahamas.

    • Galveston:  Carnival Dream, Carnival Freedom and Carnival Vista
    • Miami:  Carnival Horizon, Carnival Magic and Carnival Sensation
    • Port Canaveral:  Carnival Breeze and Carnival Elation.
