Carnival Cruise Lines Offers Series of Unique Longer Length Voyages in 2015-16

If a week just isn’t enough time to enjoy your next cruise and you have something more on your bucket list, Carnival Cruise Lines has paid attention. The world’s largest cruise line will offer a series of 10- to 14-day voyages on six different ships in 2015-16 that feature extended calls at destinations throughout the Caribbean, Bermuda, Mexican Riviera and The Bahamas. Reservations are open for 11 different voyages offered on Carnival Miracle, Carnival Dream, Carnival Glory, and Carnival Sunshine, which depart from five convenient U.S. homeports and visit more than two dozen tropical destinations, including less traveled ports like Bonaire, Martinique, Dominica, Grenada, and, for the first time on a Carnival ship, Trinidad & Tobago. Several of the 10- and 11-day voyages can be combined into three-week-long Caribbean adventures providing an unmatched combination of ports of call, amazing experiences ashore, and fun-filled sea days, all at an incredible value. These new voyages are in addition to a previously announced series of nine 10- to 14-day departures to the Caribbean and Bermuda offered on Carnival Triumph and Carnival Pride in 2015-16.

“Based on feedback from our guests and travel agent partners, we’re delighted to offer these longer length voyages which provide vacationers an opportunity to visit some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations while enjoying all the wonderful on-board innovations and features found aboard Carnival’s ships,” said Terry Thornton, Carnival’s senior vice president of itinerary planning and revenue development.
