MIAMI, Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With Carnival
Dream and Carnival Glory resuming guest operations on Sept. 19, Carnival Cruise Line now has 11 ships –
representing half of its U.S. fleet – sailing again.
Beginning with its return to guest operations on July 3 with Carnival Vista, the line is operating
from seven U.S. homeports including Miami, Galveston, Seattle, Port Canaveral, Long Beach, Baltimore and New
Orleans, providing guests with a wide range of options to
get Back to Fun.
"Having half of our U.S. fleet back in operations provides
positive economic impact in our homeports and port of call
destinations, along with giving our guests their much-needed
vacations and helping our crew support their families back home,"
said Christine Duffy, president of
Carnival Cruise Line. "We couldn't have accomplished this without
the support of our travel advisor partners, business partners and
port and destinations partners."
Carnival Dream became the third Carnival ship to operate
year-round from Galveston when it departed this weekend on a
six-day Caribbean cruise, while
Carnival Glory is the first ship to set sail from the Port of
New Orleans, operating a seven-day
voyage to The Bahamas.
With 11 ships already in guest operations, including the
introduction of Carnival's newest and most innovative ship,
Mardi Gras, additional
vessels will resume service throughout the fall and into early 2022
as the line's successful restart of operations continues.
