Carnival's fun ships sail to over sixty destinations in Europe, South America, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, Transatlantic, Canada/New England, Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska and their shore excursions are planned so that you really enjoy every port of call. There are nearly always special offers and savings to be made from early bookings. All of which help passengers get the lowest price possible.

Acquiring a Carnival Sea Miles card allows you to earn vacations at quality resorts, air travel, a free cruise on Carnival or one of the other cruise lines.

Carnival Cruises also offer a variety of wedding packages, complete with a wedding planner who will gladly take care of every little detail. There is the option for a private ceremony or a rather larger affair with over a hundred guests.

If you take a cruise with Carnival you will be assigned a stateroom steward who will be at your service for the entirety of the journey, whilst a cruise director and his staff provide a variety of entertainment and activities from morning till night. There is a cruise ship newspaper delivered each evening before your retire, which includes the program for the next days activities.
