Carnival Unveils Some of Its 2026 and 2027 Sailings, All Featuring Half Moon Cay

Carnival Cruise Line on Tuesday unveiled itineraries for seven ships for the 2026 and 2027 seasons from four of its most popular U.S. homeports—Miami, Port Canaveral, Galveston, and Baltimore.

Most notably, the itineraries include stops at Half Moon Cay, Carnival’s private island set for a significant expansion. The destination, which has become a major selling point for many travel advisors, will get a private beach, more dining and beverage experiences, and a new pier that will allow some ships, including Mardi Gras, to dock for the first time. More details of those plans should come soon.

In the meantime, among the itineraries announced this week are:

• Seven-day, Western and Eastern Caribbean sailings on Carnival Celebration out of Miami through spring 2027.
• Seven-day Eastern and Western sailings on Mardi Gras out of Port Canaveral into spring 2027.
• A mix of seven-day and 14-day sailings out of Port Canaveral, seasonally, on Carnival Venezia. That includes three 14-day Carnival Journeys cruises.
• Six-day and eight-day cruises to the Western Caribbean and the Bahamas on Carnival Jubilee starting in September 2026 from Galveston.
• Six-day, seven-day, and eight-day cruises from Galveston on Carnival Dream, along with some 14-day Carnival Journeys cruises to the Eastern and Southern Caribbean on the same ship.
• Four-day Mexico and Western Caribbean cruises on Carnival Breeze, along with an eight-day option with more diverse port stops, from Galveston.  
• Week-long sailings on Carnival Pride from Baltimore that feature an overnight stay in Bermuda, along with three 14-day Carnival Journeys sailings.
