Carnival Cruise Line today notified its guests and travel advisor partners of cancellations for additional sailings as it works toward plans for a possible July restart in the U.S. on select ships.
Carnival Cruise Hopes to Set Sail in July
Carnival Cruise Line says it will attempt to gradually restart sailings from Port Miami, Florida and Galveston, Texas in early to mid-July.
Carnival hopes to begin operating sailings on three ships from Florida and Texas, including Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze from Galveston, and Carnival Horizon from Miami. Further, if Carnival can find a solution to allow cruise ships to visit Alaska, Carnival Miracle will assume some of Carnival Freedom’s departures from Seattle.
From Miami, the first sailing is scheduled to be July 4 aboard the Carnival Horizon, the company announced this week. From Galveston, it plans to start cruises July 3 aboard the Carnival Vista, and on July 15, aboard the Carnival Breeze.
The company is cancelling sailings on all other ships through July 30, 2021.
“We continue to have constructive discussions with the CDC but still have many questions that remain unanswered. We are working diligently to resume sailing in the U.S. and meet the CDC guidelines. We sincerely appreciate the continued patience and understanding of our guests and travel advisor partners and will share additional information as quickly as we can.”
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line
