Cruise Highlights:

 

Port of Call: St. Thomas, USVI

Cruises to St. Thomas offer some of the best photo opportunities in the Caribbean, making it a top choice for many vacationers. Seafarers from around the globe have flocked to the sheltered harbors of St. Thomas since pirates sailed these seas. Today, cruises to St. Thomas dock in one of the busiest and most developed ports in the West Indies: Charlotte Amalie, the island’s historic capital. Immerse yourself in the rhythm of the market bustle, and swing to the beat of scratch bands. Or plant yourself on a beautiful beach and relax the day away. The choice is yours when you cruise to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

 

Port of Call: Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos

Grand Turk, part of the Turks & Caicos islands, may be small, but it packs a punch with its stunning scenery and historic charm. Carnival cruises to Grand Turk take you to this enchanting island, dotted with old windmills, grassy trails, and picture-perfect beaches. Discover an oasis of green surrounded by aquamarine seas, encircled by a pristine coral reef, and the dramatic drop-off of the continental shelf.

 

Port of Call: St. Maarten

Explore two colorful nations on a single exotic island! Divided centuries ago by two European powers, this 37-mile isle offers a unique blend of cosmopolitan culture, international shopping, and delectable cuisine against the backdrop of a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. Cruise to St. Maarten and discover that the island's natural beauty is equally impressive: rugged coastlines shelter silky crescents of sand, framed by rolling green hills. Whether you prefer the laid-back vibe of the beach or an adventurous hike to explore historic forts, one thing is certain — your cruise to St. Maarten will leave you with unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

 

Port of Call: San Juan, PR

Cruises from San Juan, Puerto Rico offer a magical blend of natural island charm and man-made wonders. Historic San Juan, once characterized by cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial architecture, now stands as a modern world capital, preserving its classical charm. Carnival's cruises from Puerto Rico showcase these timeless features! Amidst peaceful shaded courtyards and formidable colonial fortresses like El Morro and San Cristobal, urban adventurers will discover a cosmopolitan city with wide boulevards, lively cafés, esteemed galleries, and designer boutiques. Not to mention the golden-sand beaches and lush rainforest jungles nearby. San Juan, Puerto Rico is where the old world meets the new — and you can enjoy them both when you choose one of our cruises from San Juan.

Carnival Venezia

 

It's a long way from Venice to NYC, but Carnival Venezia thinks the two could be next-door neighbors. This ship sails from its Big Apple homeport, year-round!

 

And what can NYC find in this ship? Well, there's more than a little Italy in this one - that's why we're calling this new type of cruising Fun Italian Style. It starts with onboard flavor and flair in spots like Piazza San Marco (the grand, elegant atrium), the three-course Marco Polo Restaurant complete with Italian sculptures and authentic dishes featured nightly, Teatro Rosso and its marbled columns, red velvety seats and fun Playlist Production up on stage. Terrazza staterooms are a whole new way to stay in style and comfort, all in a great location close to exclusive amenities.

 

There's also a lot of the classic Carnival fun that repeat cruisers (hey there!) know and love. Cruise food done deliciously comes from spots like Bonsai Sushi, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Lido Marketplace, and Bonsai Teppanyaki. Places to gather and celebrate life, vacation or whatever include Piano Bar 88, Serenity Bar and Heroes Tribute Bar. Or celebrate relaxation at Cloud 9 Spa and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. And outdoors, get ready for a very splashy WaterWorks, SportSquare featuring a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf and outdoor fitness center.
