CCL-Carnival Cruise Line has expanded its future offerings from the homeports of Galveston TX and Jacksonville (JAXPORT FL), introducing new sailings through spring 2027 to popular destinations across Mexico, The Bahamas, and the Caribbean.
One of the highlights of this expansion is the inclusion of a 16-day Carnival Journeys cruise aboard Carnival Miracle, set to sail from Seattle WA to Galveston after the 2026 Alaska season. Departing on September 26th, 2026, the repositioning voyage will include a Panama Canal transit and visits to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
Following this repositioning, Carnival Miracle will continue as part of the 4-ship deployment from Galveston. The ship will offer a mix of Western Caribbean itineraries, including 4-day voyages to Cozumel and 5-day sailings to Progreso, Yucatan, providing weekend getaways and extended voyages for travelers. Unique 10-day itineraries will also explore both Eastern and Western Caribbean destinations such as Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, and Amber Cove, with select voyages reaching further to Costa Rica and Panama.
In Jacksonville, Carnival Elation will continue year-round service to the Bahamas, offering 4- and 5-day cruises. Guests will have options to visit Carnival's new premier destination, Celebration Key, as well as Nassau, Bimini, Half Moon Cay, or Princess Cays.
