MIAMI, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With its
famous pink-sand beaches, turquoise waters and picture-perfect
weather, Bermuda is one of the
most popular destinations in cruising. And Carnival Cruise Line
will provide its guests with a variety of opportunities to visit
the island paradise in 2016 with 10 departures that feature at
least one overnight docked alongside at historic King's Wharf.
From April through November 2016,
guests can embark on five different Carnival ships departing from
six convenient U.S. homeports offering itineraries ranging from
five to eight days — making 2016 one of the cruise line's most
robust Bermuda programs ever.
Carnival's 2016 Bermuda schedule includes:
- Carnival Pride: five-day cruises from Baltimore departing April 10 and Oct.
26 as well as seven-day voyages departing Sept. 4 and 18.
- Carnival Victory: an eight-day sailing from Port
Canaveral departing May 19.
- Carnival Ecstasy: seven-day cruises from Charleston
departing May 12 and Nov. 5.
- Carnival Splendor: nine-day cruise from
Miami departing May 26
- Carnival Sunshine: a seven-day cruise from New York departing Oct.
1 and a five-day sailing from Norfolk departing Oct.
23.
Five-day itineraries feature an overnight call at Bermuda; seven-day cruises spend two nights
docked at King's Wharf; and the eight-day voyage features three
nights on the island.
"By offering Bermuda cruises
from a variety of convenient drive-to homeports, we're providing
guests even more opportunities to experience and explore this
incredible island paradise," said Christine
Duffy, Carnival's president. "The island has tremendous
tourist appeal and the wide range of cruises offer consumers
maximum choice when planning their Bermuda vacation while providing travel agents
with a sought-after destination to market to their clients," she
added.
While Bermuda might be best
known for its unique pink sand beaches, pastel architecture and
famous shorts, it's also an island with an abundance of activities
that enable guests to become immersed in its tropical ambiance and
laid-back lifestyle. From world-class golf courses and
beautiful beaches to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and underwater
explorations by glass-bottom boat, snorkel or scuba, the longer
calls make it possible to participate in a variety of activities
throughout the day and into the evening. With overnight visits,
guests are also able to experience the island's local nightlife and
dine ashore if they choose.
