Carnival Cruise Line’s return to Baltimore on Sunday marked a significant moment for the port city and the cruise industry. Carnival Pride’s arrival signaled the resumption of year-round operations from Baltimore after a temporary relocation to Norfolk, Virginia, due to the Key Bridge collapse on March 26.
The ship’s entry into the port was captured on video, showcasing the excitement surrounding Carnival’s return. Carnival Pride set sail on a 14-day round-trip Carnival Journeys cruise to Greenland, marking the first of many planned itineraries through the spring of 2026.
Carnival Cruise Line, known as America’s Cruise Line, is a leading provider of modern cruising experiences. With a fleet of 23 ships, the company aims to deliver memorable and affordable vacations. In 2021, Carnival welcomed the Mardi Gras, a 5,282-passenger ship that made its debut from Port Canaveral, Florida. As the first cruise ship in North America to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), Mardi Gras features an innovative roller coaster at sea. The fleet will continue to expand with the addition of Mardi Gras’ sister ship, Carnival Celebration, in late 2022 from Miami, and Carnival Jubilee, which will begin operations from Galveston, Texas, in late 2023.
