CARNIVAL Cruise Line is set to mark its 55th anniversary in 2027 with celebratory ship meetups at sea.
Guests on 11 sailings will unite over three meetup events near Celebration Key, and the newly renamed RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay (CW 12 Dec).
The 55th birthday cruises will include a variety of itineraries visiting destinations in The Bahamas and the Caribbean, ranging from three to eight days.
Each of the three meetup events will see several Carnival ships simultaneously host Lido deck birthday celebrations.
Guests can also expect a birthday-themed specialty cocktail, special birthday cakes at restaurants, a Lido dessert buffet extravaganza, and lively party games and trivia.
The 09 Mar meetup will bring together Carnival Spirit (sailing from Mobile), Carnival Elation (sailing from Jacksonville), Carnival Legend (sailing from Tampa), and Carnival Freedom (sailing from Port Canaveral).
The 10 Mar meetup will gather Legend (sailing from Tampa), as well as Carnival Jubilee (sailing from Galveston), and Carnival Pride (sailing from Baltimore).
The 13 Mar meetup will join together Carnival Celebration, Carnival Sunrise, and Carnival Conquest, which will all sail from Miami; and Carnival Vista & Carnival Glory, which will sail from Port Canaveral.
Meanwhile, the cruise line’s Carnival Venezia has arrived in Port Canaveral for the first time, bringing ‘Carnival Fun, Italian Style’ to Florida for the winter.
Venezia is the fifth Carnival ship home porting in the destination; she will now begin a seasonal series of cruises to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
The ship’s arrival in Port Canaveral marks Carnival as the largest cruise operator from the port, joining Mardi Gras, Vista, Glory, and Carnival Freedom.
“Our Venice-themed ship adds another truly dynamic offering, with a fresh Italian twist on our signature Carnival fun plus the same friendly service our guests love, and further enriches the variety of convenient options available to our loyal guests cruising from Orlando,” President Christine Duffy said.
“Our guests who sailed with Carnival Venezia from New York love the ship and its new experiences, and we know that she will add even more value to the Carnival offering in her new winter home.” MS
