The four-day "long weekend" cruises will depart Thursdays and
feature a full-day visit to Bermuda where guests can relax on the island's

18 different voyages to the island in 2017-18 departing from five
convenient East Coast homeports, including Baltimore, Charleston, New York, Port Canaveral and Fort
Lauderdale.
"Bermuda is a beautiful and
sought-after destination and what better way to visit this
breathtaking island paradise than on the spectacular Carnival
Horizon," said Christine Duffy,
president of Carnival Cruise Line. "These visits to Bermuda are part of Carnival Horizon's
terrific inaugural schedule that also features top destinations
throughout Europe and the
Caribbean, providing our guests
with opportunities to create wonderful and fun memories together,"
