Carnival Cruise Line
If you’re thinking of cruising, there’s a very good chance you’re considering a Carnival cruise. Growing since our founding in 1972, Carnival Cruise Line — “The World’s Most Popular Cruise Line®” — now carries millions of guests every year. Our recent additions, Carnival Celebration®, Carnival Luminosa® and Carnival Venezia™ all debuted in 2023. Plus, we're so pumped about our latest, Carnival Jubilee™, which set sail December 2023… and our next, Carnival Firenze™, which sails this year! There is so much on the horizon to keep us on our toes, including a brand-new destination – Celebration Key – designed exclusively for Carnival guests, nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama Island. Plus, a fourth Excel-class ship in 2027!
As part of Carnival Corporation & plc, our highest responsibility and top priorities are to operate safely, to protect the environment, and to be in compliance everywhere we operate in the world. On this foundation, we aspire to deliver unmatched joyful vacations for our guests, always exceeding their expectations and in doing so, driving outstanding shareholder value. We are committed to a positive and just corporate culture, based on inclusion and the power of diversity. We operate with integrity, trust and respect for each other – seeking collaboration, candor, openness and transparency at all times. And, we intend to be an exemplary corporate citizen, leaving the people and the places we touch even better than before we touched them.
In a nutshell… we’re all about fun vacations at sea and ashore! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos and more. (Like what? Like waterslides!) We invite our guests to come as they are, and we make everyone feel right at home with comfy staterooms, attentive service, casual and elegant dining, plus a variety of bars and gathering places indoors and out. Guests enjoy this unique experience against the backdrop of some of the world’s most beautiful seaports.
Our 27 ships operate 2- to 31-day voyages, departing from every coast in the U.S. While we’re best known for Caribbean cruises, we sail to other exotic and amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe and Hawaii. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line Australia has two ships, and offers cruises from Sydney and Brisbane to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Carnival Cruise Line Ships
Carnival Dream
It's one thing to be fun, but it's another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a recent wave of amazingly innovative and fun Carnival ships. As the genesis of the Dream class, Carnival Dream set the direction for the ships that followed in her footsteps — first Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze.
Carnival Freedom
Carnival Freedom has a message for you, and its "feel free to have fun!" Explore the ship and you'll find food options galore, starting with two dining rooms, but definitely extending outdoors — there's mouth-watering Guy Fieri burgers at Guy's Burger Joint™, plus the greatest tacos and burritos this side of the pier at BlueIguana Cantina™. For delicious, but quick and easy, selections from the sea, get your chopsticks around all the good stuff at Bonsai Sushi Express™.
Carnival Glory
If you're looking for a vacation at sea that's as colorful as the décor of the cruise ship taking you there, an entire palette of fun activities and hot spots awaits aboard Carnival Glory. For starters, there's a rainbow of salsa options for dressing up your tacos and burritos at BlueIguana Cantina™, while Guy's Burger Joint™ serves up burgers designed by the colorful personality himself: celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
Carnival Jubilee
If you’re the party planner for your family or friends, folks like you deserve everybody’s appreciation. And we’ve got great news: you’re going to find that our next new ship is a party at sea that has something for absolutely everybody.
Carnival Jubilee will be kicking things off in 2023, sailing from Galveston, and we want you to know that you can reserve your spot now. Welcome in advance!
Carnival Mardi Gras
MARDI GRAS: FUN-FUELED VACATION INNOVATION POWERED BY LNG
When we launched our first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, we made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but... here we are!
Carnival Miracle
Carnival Miracle is a ship you may not believe when you see… but definitely don’t miss seeing this one!
When we say that Carnival Miracle takes you to another world, we mean that in every sense. Not only does this ship visit stunning destinations, but features incredible onboard spaces inspired by elements of fantasy. Escape from reality as you take in a show at the Phantom Lounge or a dance at Dr. Frankenstein's Lab. To lose yourself in a song, find your way to Sam's Piano Bar. Hungry? You'll find great food all over the place, from the casual fare of Horatio's to the artful eats of the Bacchus and Ariadne dining rooms... not to mention the world-class cuts at Nick & Nora's Steakhouse.
Carnival Panorama
There just isn’t enough vacation time to do everything, so you go for the widest variety, make the most of the moments… and above all, try to have the most fun whenever possible. All of you with the heads nodding, hands raised, folks who just stood up and cheered at the office — you’re Carnival Panorama’s people!
Carnival Spirit
Cruising aboard Carnival Spirit will elevate your holiday at sea, to that unforgettable trip you will be longing to relive. You’ll be on a ship that’s nearly the length of three footy fields and 12 decks tall of things to do, see, taste and try. Whether you’re after an action-packed holiday or just want to relax and unwind, you can create the type of cruise holiday you want.
Carnival Splendor
It’s hard to tell which onboard space best represents Carnival Splendor — they all seem to hint at the amazing time you’re going to have. El Morocco Lounge hosts comedy shows, musical performances, karaoke and more… and wears its 1930s namesake clearly on its nameplate. The words “Royal Flush Casino” incite visions of winning, while our onboard jazz club — The Cool — simply says it all without saying a word. And Fahrenheit 555™ can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the actual apex of the ship.
Carnival Sunrise
Catching a great sunrise isn't just for early-risers. Carnival Sunrise has enough warm fun for everybody to bask in.
So, everybody — here's a little of what you can expect from Carnival Sunrise. If you're ready for some amazing things to do let's start with the musical stage-show stylings of Playlist Productions™. Also up on stage find laugh-out-loud performances at Punchliner™ Comedy Club. Kids get to have a blast with others their age at one of three youth spaces, while adults will find Piano Bar 88™ a melodious place to grab a drink in the evening. And who doesn't love a good waterslide? Carnival WaterWorks™ is the ship's designated splash zone.
Carnival Sunshine
Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun. There's plenty to find atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun. Visit the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival WaterWorks™, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide. There's also SportSquare™, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse SkyCourse™ high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.
Carnival Valor
Your high seas hero Carnival Valor is here to rescue you from ordinary vacations and whisk you away to leisure, fun... and amazing destinations.
On your way you'll find onboard food spots designed to regale your palate, like BlueIguana Cantina™ and Guy's Burger Joint™... plus the downright indulgent Scarlett's Steakhouse. Let yourself be swept away to RedFrog Pub® or Alchemy Bar® for a drink, or get a little carried away rooting for your favorites at SkyBox™ Sports Bar.
