Since October 2016, Carnival Cruise Line ships offer bocce court activities, due to an inflatable court developed by the company Packaworld (New Zealand). The new activity was added following successful test trials (on Carnival Glory and Carnival Pride) run by American Bocce Company (USA). In September CCL extended its onboard retail shop partnership with Starboard Cruise Services (premier cruiseship retailer, subsidiary company and brand of LVMH /1987-founded) through 2027. The deal covers 10 ships (Celebration, Dream, Freedom, Horizon, Legend, Magic, Miracle, Pride, Sunrise, Sunshine). Two transpacific itineraries will be offered by Carnival Panorama in 2024. California, Japan, Southeast Asia, Alaska, and Hawaii are all visited during the month-long cruise that leaves from the ship’s homeport in Long Beach.

On June 22nd, CCL and Costa Cruises announced the "COSTA by CARNIVAL" cruise program targeting CCL's North American source market. The program is based on two newbuild Costa ships - Venezia (starting in April 2023 with homeporting in NYC New York USA) and Firenze (starting in 2024 with homeporting in Long Beach/Los Angeles California USA). Both Costa liners are CCL-managed (while operating out of the USA) and were scheduled for drydock refurbishments prior to the Carnival service.
From Texas are offered 4-5-day short breaks to Mexico - Cozumel and Cozumel + Progreso/Costa Maya. CCL-Carnival established cruise ship operations in China via a partnership with its local subsidiary company Costa Asia (in China since 2008). Due to the COVID pandemic, CCL-Carnival suspended its fleet's passenger shipping operations by canceling all voyages with pre-scheduled departures in the period March 13, 2020, through July 2021.
Carnival Corporation orders 5th Excel-class cruise ship for CCL
ATM (cash) machines are available onboard all Carnival ships since 2009. The service is exclusively provided by Cardtronics and available to both passengers and crew. Each Carnival ship has all 4 ATMs - 2 located in high-traffic passenger areas and 2 are exclusively for the crew. SkyRide is an outdoor/aerial bicycle ride (suspended 2-track bike course) on the newest Vista-class Carnival ships. This is industry's first pedal-powered open-air bike ride in hanging bikes encircling around an 800-ft / 245-m long suspended track on the ship's top deck, allowing 360-degree panoramic views 150 ft / 46 m above sea level. In May, CCL partnered with Harlem Globetrotters (exhibition basketball team) to serve as team's official cruise line sponsor, with Carnival-inspired activations taking place at 150+ shows per year.
Carnival cruisers, who range from young to old, tend to be quite friendly, looking to strike up conversations with other people in the buffet, by the pool and, really, anywhere. Starting in late 2023, the Carnival Jubilee will launch a year-round cruise program from Port Canaveral, replacing the Carnival Conquest in Galveston. The Carnival Spirit will remain homeported in Mobile after its debut in Alabama in late 2023, for example. After its summer season in Europe, the Carnival Legend will reposition to Tampa in November. Carnival Cruise Line has big plans for 2024, including a new ship entering service and several deployment changes. With the new Carnival Jubilee in service from Galveston, the Carnival repositions to Port Canaveral in late 2023, kicking off a year-round program from the Central Florida homeport.
Trust us, that spoil-yourself cruise glow is even brighter when you're getting it for way less money. The ship will sail out of New Orleans several times this summer for seven-day itineraries to the Eastern or Western Caribbean, according to a recent news release from Carnival. Since July 2015, Carnival Cruise Line offers new shore excursions, new customized private tours and new family-friendly enhancements with complimentary beachside activities and complimentary land tours in select Caribbean ports of call. The 128-ft (39-m) long Carnival AirShip is a painted like cruise ship dirigible.
The company describes the cruises as limited “special cruises that will amaze” with longer itineraries that typically include unusual ports and exotic destinations. Carnival currently offers 19 cruises from its Texas homeport, including the 12-night Carnival Journey to the Southern Caribbean, which includes ports in Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire. A total of 19 cruises departing from the Texas homeport are currently opened for booking, including a 12-night Carnival Journey to the Southern Caribbean that visits Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and more.

Of course, you're able to save money by purchasing your package in advance through Carnival's Cruise Manager. In mid-2022, SC Ports announced that they would not be renewing their contract with Carnival Cruise Line, meaning that their ships will not be able to begin or end their journeys at the Union Pier Terminal once the contract expires at the end of 2024. Compared to the other two Excel-Class ships, Carnival Jubilee will have two brand-new zones— Currents and The Shores—that were inspired by the ocean and beach.
Each Fun Ship also has a dedicated "shore excursion desk" with experienced staff to answer any questions and to recommend particular tours. The company's tour section was revamped with enhanced navigation, more videos, and photos, online reservations, guest-written tour reviews. Since 2015, Carnival Cruise Line offers the so-called "Carnival Journeys" itineraries.
In September 2023 Carnival announced Legend ship's homeporting in San Francisco (California USA) planned for 2025. From San Francisco (joining Carnival Miracle), Legend is scheduled to offer 10-day roundtrips to Alaska and 4-day roundtrips to Baja Mexico. The new deployment (2025) features two Carnival Journeys/longer itineraries - 14-day Panama Canal (Tampa to San Francisco/April 24th) and 15-day Hawaii and Mexico (roundtrip from SF/September 21st). Alaskan voyages visit Juneau, Skagway Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord (cruising), Prince Rupert (BC Canada). The XL-Class design features a new (red-white-navy blue) hull and was created by the NYC-based naval architecture firm "Bluarch Architecture". The new liners have length 1130 ft (344 m) and passenger capacity 5200 (lower berths).
Dive into pure bliss as you explore the jewels of the Pacific for 22 to 31 days, from the vibrant landscapes of Australia to the cultural wonders of Japan, the vibrant cityscape of Singapore to the pristine wilderness of Alaska. Hop on a transatlantic cruise to discover the allure of romantic Italy, the rich history of Spain, the volcanic wonders of the Azores and so much more.
