Carnival Reveals 2027/28 Lineup, First-Ever Dedicated Series of Hawaii Cruises

Carnival Cruise Line unveiled more of its 2027/28 lineup including 10 two-week Carnival Journeys Hawaii sailings, the line’s first-ever dedicated series of Hawaii voyages. The line is also repositioning Carnival Freedom to Norfolk and extending Carnival Pride’s year-round service in Baltimore. 

“This update to our 2027/28 represents important pieces of our strategy,” said Christine Duffy, Carnival Cruise Line president. “With fun on the move, we’re creating new options – a newer ship for Norfolk and a new series dedicated to Hawaii sailings from Long Beach are both great examples of that.”

Carnival’s Hawaii Journeys

Repositioning to Long Beach seasonally from October 2027 through April 2028, Carnival Legend will begin a brand-new program from Southern California, giving West Coast guests varied options close to home. 

Among these choices will be Carnival’s first-ever program dedicated to Hawaii cruises. The series of 14-day Carnival Journeys cruises to Hawaii provides guests with multiple sailing options that include calls in Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, Hilo, and Kona, plus a stop in Ensenada, Mexico.

Ten Hawaii sailings are now open for sale between October 2027 and March 2028.

Additional offerings include six- and eight-day Mexican Riviera cruises with calls in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas, La Paz and Ensenada.

Carnival Freedom to Norfolk

Carnival Freedom will reposition from Port Canaveral to Norfolk in May 2027 with a special 15-day Carnival Journeys cruise across the Southern Caribbean that visits Aruba, Curacao, Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas.

The ship will arrive in Norfolk on May 23, 2027, to launch the most diverse cruise program ever offered from the region. Highlights include six-day Bahamas cruises calling on Celebration Key, Nassau, and Bimini, as well as six-day Bermuda cruises offering guests two days to visit the beautiful island. Eight-day Eastern Caribbean voyages feature Amber Cove, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turk. Carnival Freedom will also offer eight-day Canada cruises with stops in Halifax, Sydney, and Saint John or Charlottetown.

Carnival Pride Stays in Baltimore

Carnival Pride will continue to offer year-round cruises from Baltimore with seven-day Bahamas sailings with a mix of itineraries visiting Celebration Key, Nassau, RelaxAway, and Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays. Seven-day Bermuda cruises feature three days visiting the island. Extended nine-, 12-, and 14-day Carnival Journeys voyages to destinations including Aruba, Curaçao, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Antigua, Tortola, and Martinique are also available.
