Carnival Adjusts Itineraries for 2026 Sailings on Five Ships

Carnival Cruise Line has announced itinerary changes for nine cruises scheduled in 2026 across five of its vessels: Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Glory, Carnival Elation,Carnival Pride, and Carnival Freedom.

In notifications sent to booked passengers, the company explained that the adjustments are relatively minor, though several involve changes to port calls and visit dates.

The Carnival Sunrise saw the most modifications, with three cruises affected. The January 24, 2026, departure will now call at Half Moon Cay instead of Princess Cays. The February 7, 2026, sailing from PortMiami will visit Celebration Key on a different day, while the March 7, 2026, cruise has updated port times and a revised call at Half Moon Cay.

For Carnival Glory, the February 16, 2026, departure will visit Nassau on a new date, while the October 16, 2026, sailing has shifted its visit to Celebration Key.

The Carnival Elation, sailing from Jacksonville, had its February 9, 2026, voyage completely reworked to include stops at Celebration Key, Princess Cays, and Grand Turk. Its February 16, 2026, itinerary now replaces Freeport with Celebration Key.

Meanwhile, Carnival Pride, sailing from Baltimore, will substitute a call at Princess Cays with Half Moon Cay on its seven-night Bahamas itinerary. The date of its visit to Nassau has also been revised.

Lastly, the Carnival Freedom’s February 14, 2026, sailing will adjust the day it visits Celebration Key.

Carnival emphasized that shore excursions purchased through the line will automatically update to match the revised schedules. Any excursions linked to canceled port calls will be refunded in full to the original form of payment.
