Carnival Boosts Capacity on 2010 NYC Departures

Carnival Cruise Lines will increase capacity on its seasonal cruise program from New York in 2010 with the 2,978-passenger Carnival Glory scheduled to operate a variety of four- and five-day Atlantic Canada voyages from June to September, followed by five one-week fall foliage cruises.

It will be the first time that Carnival has deployed one of its largest ships on the program. Four-day cruises departing Thursdays feature a call at Saint John, New Brunswick, as well as scenic cruising in the Bay of Fundy. Five-day cruises departing on Mondays and Saturdays include stops at Saint John and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The program commences with a four-day voyage departing June 6, 2010 (a one-time Sunday departure). One-week fall foliage itineraries beginning Sept. 11, 2010, feature four ports of call, including Boston; Portland, Maine; Saint John; and Halifax.
