   October 9, 2024 ,   Cruise Industry

CCL-Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its offerings from PortMiami (Florida, USA), extending the schedules for Carnival Magic and Carnival Sunrise into 2026 and early 2027. This move provides guests with a wide range of cruise options to popular destinations in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and beyond, including the highly anticipated Celebration Key, Carnival’s exclusive new port of call on Grand Bahama.

Carnival Magic will continue her year-round service from Miami, featuring both 6- and 8-day itineraries. 6-day Eastern Caribbean cruises will include stops at Amber Cove, Grand Turk, and either Celebration Key or Half Moon Cay, a private island destination set for expansion. Western Caribbean sailings will visit Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Celebration Key. For those seeking longer voyages, the 8-day Southern Caribbean routes will call at Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, while Eastern Caribbean options will visit San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Half Moon Cay.

Carnival Sunrise will offer 4- and 5-day sailings, with shorter cruises ideal for a quick getaway to destinations like Nassau, Princess Cays, Grand Turk, and Celebration Key. These itineraries provide a flexible range of options for guests, departing primarily on Thursdays and Sundays, and feature a blend of Bahamian and Caribbean ports.

Carnival Celebration and Carnival Horizon are also open for reservations through 2027. Carnival Celebration, the line’s newest ship, will operate 7-day Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages with stops at Cozumel, Mahogany Bay, St. Thomas, and San Juan. Carnival Horizon will offer a special 13-day transatlantic journey from Barcelona (Spain) to Miami in June 2026, with stops in Alicante, Malaga, and Gibraltar before reaching Celebration Key.

These expanded itineraries reinforce Carnival’s commitment to offering diverse and exciting cruise experiences from PortMiami, showcasing the best of the Caribbean and Bahamas with enriched destinations, longer stays, and exclusive access to Celebration Key.
