Bookings are now open for some of Carnival Cruise Line’s 2027-28 voyages.
The company also revealed it will be moving the 4,600-guest Carnival Dream back to New Orleans, where it will join Carnival Liberty. It’s the first time the larger Carnival Dream will homeport in New Orleans since 2019.
From New Orleans, the vessel will offer 4- and 5-day voyages to Mexico.
“As we roll out our deployment plans through the spring of 2028, we have great news to share with our homeport communities,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Fun is on the move, and that means more options and more variety as guests book their future cruise vacations.”
Before Carnival Dream relocates, however, the ship will offer two final sailings from Galveston, including a week-long Western Caribbean itinerary featuring Belize, Cozumel and Isla Tropicale, followed by another week-long Bahamas cruise that visits Celebration Key, Key West and Nassau.
Carnival Liberty will continue sailing from New Orleans, offering 7-day Western Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries through April 2028. Several cruises include visits to Carnival’s exclusive new destination Celebration Key, as well as Key West and Nassau. The ship will also visit destinations like Cozumel, Belize, Grand Cayman and Isla Tropicale. Over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, special eight-day sailings will feature stops at both Celebration Key and RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.
Carnival Liberty will also offer a special 14-day Panama Canal Carnival Journeys cruise departing November 28, 2027, with stops in Aruba, Cartagena, Colon (Panama Canal), Curaçao, Cozumel, Limon and Montego Bay.
Carnival Liberty recently returned to service in New Orleans after a major renovation that added several new features to the ship, including a WaterWorks aqua park with new waterslides and a Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge.
Carnival says it plans to announce additional itineraries and new homeports for several ships in the near future.
