Carnival Triumph's varied program includes a longer 'Carnival Journeys' cruise that affords a Panama Canal visit
Carnival Triumph will operate diverse itineraries in 2019-20, with a variety of four- to 14-day cruises from New York, Fort Lauderdale and Norfolk, visiting the Caribbean, Bahamas, Canada, New England, Bermuda and the Panama Canal.

From New York the ship will sail four- to 14-day voyages in the summer and fall 2019 to Bermuda, the Caribbean, Canada and New England, while one cruise sails as far as Panama.

Four-day 'long weekend' Bermuda cruises depart May 23, June 20, July 18, Aug. 15 and Sept. 12, and offer a full day to experience the island while a six-day Bermuda cruise departs Sept. 16, and spends two full days there. An eight-day cruise on June 24 includes two full days in Bermuda and stop at Grand Turk.

Three seven-day cruises will also be offered, departing Sept. 22 and 29 and Oct. 6, and featuring day-long calls at ports in New England and the Canadian Maritimes provinces.

Carnival Triumph’s schedule from New York also features two different eight-day Caribbean itineraries: one to Grand Turk, San Juan and Amber Cove (Dominican Republic) with departures on July 2, 10 and 30, Aug. 7 and 27 and Sept. 4, and the other visiting San Juan, St. Thomas and Grand Turk with sailing dates of July 22 and Aug. 19.

There’s also a 10-day eastern Caribbean cruise on June 10, calling at San Juan, Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Grand Turk, as well as a 14-day 'Carnival Journeys' cruise that departs May 27 and includes the opportunity to visit the Panama Canal during a call at Colón, as well as visits to Grand Turk, Grand Cayman, Limón (Costa Rica) and Half Moon Cay. 'Carnival Journeys' provide special local dining and entertainment experiences and a number of shipboard enrichment activities.

As part of its new schedule, Carnival Triumph will also offer four- and five-day cruises from Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades in April 2019 and, following its summer season from New York, November 2019 through April 2020. It will be the only Fun Ship to offer short sailings from this port.

Four-day 'long weekend' voyages depart Thursdays and visit Nassau and Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays. Five-day sailings departing Saturdays call at Grand Turk, Nassau and Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays, while five-day voyages departing Mondays feature Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman.

Plus, Carnival Triumph’s schedule includes five- and six-day Bahamas voyages departing from Norfolk’s Half Moone Cruise Center. Two five-day cruises are scheduled for May 12 and 17, 2019, to Nassau and Freeport, while three six-day cruises depart May 6, and Oct. 14 and 20, 2019, visiting Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Freeport.

Prior to the launch of this program, Carnival Triumph will undergo an extensive refurbishment to add a variety of food, beverage and entertainment options.

Currently based in New Orleans where it operates four- and five-day cruises, Carnival Triumph will be replaced there by Carnival Valor.
