Carnival Legend moving to Tampa in 2019
Carnival Cruise Line will reposition the 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend to Tampa in the fall of 2019.
Before then the ship will have an extensive dry dock renovation which will add various new food and beverage concepts, retail outlets and the Camp Ocean kids play area.
The Legend will sail seven-day Alaska cruises from Seattle, then head to Australia.
The ship returns to Seattle for more Alaska sailings before redeploying to Tampa.
This includes longer Carnival Journeys sailings that include a 16-day Hawaii cruise from Vancouver, and a 15-day Panama Canal repositioning voyage from Los Angeles to Tampa.
"With these voyages aboard the newly refurbished Carnival Legend we’re providing our guests with a broad spectrum of exciting cruise options featuring sought-after destinations," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
It replaces the Carnival Miracle on week-long Caribbean sailings from Tampa beginning October 27, 2019 which include calls at Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Roatan, Honduras and Belize.
In addition the Tampa schedule includes a one-off round trip 14-day sailing through the Panama Canal as well as a partial transit on the Canal calling at Limon and Grand Cayman.
