Carnival Cruise Line Adding Additional Seven Night Cruises

Carnival Cruise Line is expanding capacity in two key cruise markets with the addition of seven night cruises from Tampa, Florida and Long Beach, California.
CARNIVAL MIRACLE

Carnival Miracle will be the cruise line’s second cruise ship based out of Tampa, Florida year round.  The ship will sail week long cruises to the Caribbean starting on January 27, 2018 and stop in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Roatan, and Belize.

The seven-day voyages from Tampa are part of Carnival’s exclusive Cozumel Plus program, which feature extended stays that provide guests even more opportunities to experience and explore one of the Caribbean’s most diverse vacation destinations.  On Cozumel Plus itineraries, guests have access to a variety of new excursions, many taking place on Mexico’s mainland – with unforgettable tours like swimming with whale sharks, visiting centuries-old ruins and swimming in hidden caverns, complementing nearly 50 existing tours already available.

The 2,124-passenger Carnival Miracle joins the 2,052-passenger Carnival Paradise which operates year-round four- and five-day Caribbean cruises from Tampa.  Carnival is the only year-round cruise operator from Tampa. The two ships will offer the widest variety of four-, five- and seven-day itineraries from Tampa and carry 320,000 guests annually.
