Cruise Ships Set to Return to Baltimore

When Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas departs from the Port of Baltimore on May 25 it will become the first cruise ship to do so since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge this past March. The next day, Carnival’s first ship to use the port is expected to be the Carnival Pride, which departs Norfolk on May 19, but plans to return to the Port of Baltimore on May 26. 

Both cruise lines had moved their Baltimore operations to Norfolk in the aftermath of the bridge collapse. 

“Royal Caribbean International looks forward to returning to the Port of Baltimore once again,” a spokesperson for the line told TMR. “Vision of the Seas will set sail on a five-night itinerary as planned on Saturday, May 25 after completing its previously scheduled drydock in The Bahamas.”

Carnival cruisers scheduled to sail on the May 19 sailing can take advantage of the line’s complimentary bus service that runs between Baltimore and Norfolk on embarkation day.
