Carnival Expands Canaveral-Based Fleet with Larger, Newer Ships

Starting in February 2016, Carnival Cruise Line passengers sailing from Port Canaveral will have the larger Carnival Victory as their vessel for shorter vacations and in December 2016, those seeking week long Caribbean cruises will have the new Carnival Magic as an option.

The 2.758-passenger capacity Carnival Victory will replace the 2.052- passenger Sensation, providing the three-and-four-day Bahamas itinerary on a substantially larger vessel that offers a greater variety of on-board features and amenities, including more than 500 balcony staterooms.  

In addition, the 3,646-passenger Carnival Magic will reposition to Canaveral, giving access to the line’s newest class of ship and features such as a WaterWorks aqua park, Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian restaurant and SportSquare outdoor recreation area.

"We are significantly ‘upping our game’ in Port Canaveral with the addition of these great new ships to the important and growing Central Florida market," said Christine Duffy, Carnival’s president. "When these ships join the spectacular Carnival Sunshine, this dynamic trio of ‘Fun Ships’ will offer our guests and valued travel agent partners with the widest array of attractive and convenient cruising options from the Space Coast." 

"We thank Carnival Cruise Lines for offering these exciting vacation options from Port Canaveral and we are pleased that our strong partnership continues to grow and improve with the variety of diverse ships sailing from Orlando’s Port," said Port Canaveral CEO John E. Walsh. "These new deployments, coupled with recently announced Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Valor schedules, will allow a variety of options for short and longer cruises, with Bermuda now among the choices from Central Florida’s Port of Choices."
