JAXPORT to Welcome New Carnival Cruise Ship in Spring 2016

Carnival Elation will offer year-round, four- and five-day cruises from the Jacksonville Port Authority’s North Jacksonville cruise terminal beginning April 23, 2016. 

JAXPORT’s current home-ported ship, Carnival Fascination, will shift to San Juan for year-round, seven-day Caribbean cruises.

Carnival Elation will assume Carnival Fascination’s four- and five-day schedule from Jacksonville and continue cruising’s only year-round program from that port. Four-day cruises depart Thursdays and visit Freeport and Nassau and five-day voyages depart Mondays and Thursdays and visit Nassau and the private island of Half Moon Cay.

Carnival Fascination will also offer a special six-day cruise departing Jacksonville on April 18 and arriving in San Juan on April 24, 2016. Featured ports on this one-time voyage will include St. Thomas, St. Kitts and St. Maarten.

The longer cruises have been specially designed to offer guests who have previously sailed with Carnival from New Orleans or Jacksonville with new itineraries visiting more ports of call.


Carnival Elation will be replacing Carnival Fascination as JAXPORT’s homeported cruise ship in April 2016. The 70,367 gross-ton Elation was delivered in 1998, is 855 feet long and can accommodate up to 2,052 passengers and 920 crew members.
