Carnival Cruise Line will offer more quick getaways to The Bahamas, including its Celebration Key, in 2026/27.

Extending the schedules of Carnival Conquest from PortMiami and Carnival Glory and Carnival Freedom from Port Canaveral, these make for additional three-, four- and five-day cruises.

'These sailings give our guests many options to enjoy an escape, with all the vibrant onboard activities they know and love, plus a visit to the picturesque ports of The Bahamas, including our premier new destination Celebration Key,' said Carnival's Fred Stein, VP itinerary planning.

From Miami on Carnival Conquest

Carnival Conquest, homeported year-round at Miami, will operate varied itineraries throughout 2026 and early 2027. Three-day weekend cruises visit Celebration Key while four-day itineraries add Half Moon Cay, a private destination also set for an expansion, or Princess Cays.

The ship will also sail an 11-day Southern Caribbean 'Carnival Journey' in January 2027, which visits  St. Thomas, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua, Barbados and Celebration Key.

From Canaveral on Carnival Glory and Freedom

From Central Florida, Carnival Glory will offer a range of three- and four-day cruises to The Bahamas throughout 2026 and into early 2027. Three-day weekend cruises sailing Fridays visit Celebration Key, while four-day sailings add Nassau, with some itineraries going instead to Princess Cays or Half Moon Cay.

Carnival Freedom will operate varied four- and five-day cruises from Port Canaveral. Four-day, long weekend getaways visit Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Five-day cruises call Celebration Key, Nassau and either Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays.

Plus trans-Atlantic 'Carnival Journeys'

The ship will also offer two trans-Atlantic 'Carnival Journeys' next year, with a 14-day voyage from Port Canaveral to Barcelona calling Gibraltar, Málaga and Alicante, and a 13-day crossing from Barcelona to Port Canaveral. And an eight-day, Barcelona roundtrip visits Marseille, Livorno, Civitavecchia (Rome), Naples and Valletta.
