Carnival To Offer Year-Round Caribbean/Bahamas Cruises From New York Beginning In 2012

 

 

Carnival Cruise Lines will launch a year-round program of eight-day cruises to the Caribbean and Bahamas from New York beginning in April 2012 – the line’s first year-round sailings from that port.

 

On this schedule, Carnival Miracle will offer three uniquely different eight-day itineraries that visit a diversity of beautiful islands throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas. The itineraries include:

 

Eastern Caribbean departures to San Juan, St. Thomas and Grand Turk, offered on a rotating basis April through October

Bahamas sailings featuring stops at the private Bahamian island of Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk and Nassau, offered on a rotating basis April through October

Bahamas/Florida cruises with port calls to Port Canaveral (Orlando), Nassau and Freeport, offered November through April

 

While these Caribbean itineraries are uniquely different, each offers beautiful white-sand beaches, excellent shopping and dining experiences, world-famous landmarks, historical sites and attractions, and myriad sightseeing and shore excursion opportunities, including snorkeling, scuba-diving, and water sports.

 

In addition to extended visits to sunny, tropical islands, guests on these voyages can experience Carnival Miracle’s wide variety of on-board amenities and facilities — delicious dining choices, captivating entertainment, extensive spa and children’s facilities, and fun-filled top-deck amenities, including the line’s signature Twister Waterslide.      

 

Carnival Miracle will operate its current eight-day Caribbean program from New York through October 2011.  The ship will then reposition to Fort Lauderdale for a series of eight-day Caribbean voyages before heading back to New York to begin its year-round deployment in April 2012.

 

Reservations are currently being accepted for the Carnival Miracle’s new year-round sailings from New York. For additional information and reservations, contact any travel agent, call 1-800-CARNIVAL or visit http://www.carnival.com
