Carnival Cruise Line is making waves with its newly released 2026/27 cruise itineraries, offering travelers exciting adventures from two convenient U.S. homeports: Tampa and Mobile. These voyages, now open for booking, promise unforgettable experiences in sought-after destinations like the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the Panama Canal.
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, highlighted the company’s commitment to offering convenient sailing options for its guests. “As America’s cruise line, we continue to sail from more U.S. homeports than any other line and our 2026/27 offerings from Tampa and Mobile are great examples of that commitment to provide our guests with the convenience of sailing from homeports that are a short drive away,” Duffy stated.
With a diverse selection of itineraries, many featuring Carnival’s exclusive destinations, Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay, cruisers have a wide range of options to choose from.
