New Four- and Five-Day Cruises from Port Canaveral

 A new year-round program of four and five-day cruises from Port Canaveral will kick off March 23, 2006.  These cruises will initially be offered on the 2,052-passenger Sensation through Oct. 19, 2006.  Just prior to the start of this program, the Sensation will undergo a comprehensive refurbishment.

The 2,052-passenger Elation will take over the program as of Oct. 23, 2006.  Four-day cruises will call at Nassau and either Freeport or Half Moon Cay.  Five-day cruises will call at Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau throughout 2006 and from May to Sept. 2007.  From Jan. to April 2007 and from Oct. to Dec. 2007, the five-day itinerary will feature Key West and Cozumel.

        Grand Turk, part of the Turks & Caicos Islands chain, is a new port of call featuring pristine beaches, turquoise waters, world renowned coral reefs, and an intimate, unspoiled atmosphere.  Half Moon Cay is a private island paradise in The Bahamas, featuring beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters and an abundance of water sports and beach activities.

New Seven-Day Cruises from Miami Featuring Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk

        Beginning April 30, 2006, the Elation will launch a new seven-day cruise program from Miami, which will run through Oct. 15, 2006.  The ship will sail every Sunday on a brand new itinerary featuring four exceptional ports of call -- Half Moon Cay, The Bahamas; St. Thomas/St. John, U.S.V.I; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands. 

The 70,367-ton Elation will be the only Carnival Fantasy-class ship to offer seven-day cruises from Miami and the only Carnival itinerary to feature a daytime call in San Juan.  Carnival’s 2,052-passenger Fantasy-class series is a favorite among many experienced cruisers who are attracted to the ships’ comfortable size and design.

        Carnival will offer attractive introductory pricing on its new itineraries from both Port Canaveral and Miami to kick off these programs.

Ecstasy to Return to Galveston

Effective April 8, 2006, the 2,052-passenger Ecstasy will resume four- and five-day Caribbean cruising from Galveston, Texas.  The Ecstasy had previously operated that program until it was chartered by the U.S. government for hurricane relief efforts. The Elation, which replaced the Ecstasy on the four and five-day program from Galveston, will continue to operate those voyages through April 3, 2006.

The Ecstasy will return to service after undergoing a multimillion-dollar 35-day refurbishment.  Virtually all public areas and staterooms will be enhanced and upgraded. 

        A second Carnival ship based in Galveston, the Carnival Conquest, operates seven-day western Caribbean cruises departing every Sunday.
