Carnival Opens Bookings on More 2026-2027 Cruises from U.S.

Carnival Cruise Line has announced new 2026 and 2027 cruises from U.S. homeports on four ships. These cruises, now open for bookings, will sail from the homeports of Miami, Port Canaveral, Norfolk, and San Francisco.

The future season includes the debut of Carnival Luminosa in San Francisco, which will sail Alaska and Mexico cruises. 

“In addition to extending our successful deployment schedules in Miami, Port Canaveral, and Norfolk, Carnival Luminosa will bring a new experience to our seasonal homeport of San Francisco for the 2026 Alaska season. These new sailings also introduce some truly stellar additions to our Carnival Journeys program of longer sailings, with a transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to Miami on Carnival Horizon and Carnival Luminosa’s transpacific voyages from Brisbane to San Francisco visiting Fiji, Tahiti and Hawaii, and San Francisco to Yokohama (Tokyo) visiting Alaska and Japan,” said Fred Stein, Vice President of Deployment for Carnival Cruise Line.
