Carnival Cruise Line to resume all US sailings by March 2022
Carnival Cruise Line will restart cruises on all 22 US-based ships by March 2022, nearly two years since the pandemic forced cruise lines to halt sailings
In addition to the 19 ships that had been confirmed by February, Carnival Sensation will now restart service from Mobile, Alaska 5 March, with Carnival Ecstasy following from Jacksonville, Florida 7 March and Carnival Paradise from Tampa, Florida 12 March.
The company has also said Carnival Jubilee, its third Excel-class ship, will be delivered in 2023 and based in Galveston, Texas. LNG-powered Carnival Jubilee will join sister ships Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration.
Carnival Line president Christine Duffy said, “We have continued to grow our presence and support Port of Galveston’s expansion, so we are thrilled to bring our brand-new Carnival Jubilee to Texas and the greater southwest region.”
“This beautiful, innovative ship will bring an entirely new cruise experience to our guests, and we’ve got some great surprises to fun it up in ways we know they are going to love."
When delivered, Meyer Werftbuilt Carnival Jubilee will arrive at 182,800 gt, capable of carrying 5,400 guests and 1,700 crew. It will sail seven-day western Caribbean itineraries and include features from its sister ships including the BOLT roller coaster on the top deck, expanded dining options, new designs for suites and staterooms, and a three-deck atrium on the starboard side of the ship that overlooks the ocean and converts to an entertainment venue at night.
“We love Texas, and Texas loves Carnival. Galveston is one of our most popular homeports, and we draw guests to Texas from across the Midwest, southwest and western US. Bringing a brand-new ship to a market is a big commitment, and it’s one we gladly make for the greater Galveston community and entire region," added Ms Duffy.
