Carnival Cruise Lines announced a new “Fun Ship” cruise program from Port Canaveral, Florida.
The 2,052-passenger Carnival Ecstasy will operate four- and five-day Bahamas cruises from the Space Coast.
“The move further bolsters Carnival’s position as Port Canaveral’s largest cruise operator with three year-round ships carrying approximately 600,000 guests annually,” the cruise line said in a press release.
“In addition to offering a convenient departure point for millions of consumers in the southeastern U.S., along with attractive port facilities and excellent flight options into nearby Orlando, Port Canaveral is an extremely popular homeport,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
On the Carnival Ecstasy’s new schedule, two different four-day itineraries will be offered, along with two different five-day itineraries.
With its other offerings, Carnival says it now has an “unprecedented array of cruise lengths and itineraries from Port Canaveral.”
Carnival also announced it was halting cruises from Mobile, Ala.
