Carnival Cruises announces “unique” itinerary
Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny will launch what it calls a “unique seven-day cruise program” from San Juan featuring extended calls at six tropical destinations – St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominica, and St. Thomas/St. John.
“Carnival Destiny’s new seven-day program offers consumers the unmatched opportunity to visit six different Caribbean destinations including rarely visited ports and some of the Caribbean’s most popular islands, each offering unforgettable and unique experiences ashore,” said Vicki Freed, Carnival’s senior vice president of sales and guest services.
Featured on the new itinerary is a day-long stop at St. Kitts, an island offering a landscape of rugged mountains and dense rainforest, which serves as a dramatic backdrop to beaches that range in color from black to golden. The island also offers examples of West Indian and Creole architecture, as well as centuries-old fortresses and plantations.
Another stop, Antigua, at 108 square miles is the largest of the Leeward Islands and known for a multitude of beaches, some 365 of them, in fact, or “one for every day of the year.” Antigua also features a variety of historical sites.
The Carnival Destiny houses 18 lounges and bars, including a sports bar, wine bar, piano bar, and a multi-level theater showcasing lavish revues. Its family friendly amenities include “Camp Carnival” and “Club O2,” with facilities and activities for children and teens, respectively.
The new schedule begins next March 2.
