Carnival Horizon is the sister of 2016's Carnival Vista. It will offer many of the same features, including a SkyRide attraction, IMAX Theatre, WaterWorks park, Family Harbor and tropical-inspired Havana staterooms, plus some new dining, bar and outdoor spaces, to be announced. The ship is under construction at Fincantieri's Maghera yard.
Carnival Horizon's maiden voyage, on April 2, 2018, is a 13-day Mediterranean cruise round-trip from Barcelona with calls at Livorno, Civitavecchia (Rome), Naples, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Messina, Valletta and Cagliari. This is the first of four round-trips from Barcelona. A pair of week-long cruises will sail April 15 and April 22 to Cagliari, Naples, Civitavecchia, Livorno and Marseilles, and a 10-day cruise on April 29 will visit Livorno, Civitavecchia, Dubrovnik, Corfu and Messina.
The trans-Atlantic crossing from Barcelona on May 9 is scheduled to reach New York on May 23. The 14-day cruise will call at Málaga, Gibraltar, Lisbon, Vigo (a first-time portl for Carnival) and Halifax.
From New York, Carnival Horizon will spend the summer on eight-day round-trips to Grand Turk, San Juan and Amber Cove. Departure dates include May 28, June 5, June 13, June 25, July 3, July 11, July 23, July 31, Aug. 8, Aug. 20, Aug. 28 and Sept. 5.
