Carnival to Offer New Cruises from Miami

Carnival Cruise Lines will expand its short cruise offerings from Miami with the 2,052-passenger Carnival Imagination and 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny operating new itineraries beginning next fall.

The 70,000-ton Carnival Imagination –which will become the first Carnival ship to be completely remodeled under the line’s “Evolutions of Fun” enhancement program this fall- will sail on year-round three- and four-day cruises from Miami beginning September 22, 2008.

Additionally, the Carnival Destiny will be the industry’s only 100,000-plus-ton-cruise ship to offer year-round four- and five-day cruises when it launches this program from Miami September 27, 2008. This 101,353-ton “Fun Ship” will offer a one-of-a-kind vacation experience that will include four-day weekend cruises and five-day trips.

These new deployments represent the latest enhancements to Carnival’s popular three- to five-day cruise programs which comprise roughly half of the line’s departures.
