Carnival Legend is currently sailing on a repositioning voyage to Civitavecchia ahead of a series of Mediterranean cruises departing from the port near Rome.

Following the completion of its summer deployment in Northern Europe, the ship began a 12-night sailing from Dover in late August. The open-jaw itinerary visits destinations in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, with calls including Le Havre, Lisbon and Málaga.

After reaching Civitavecchia, *Carnival Legend *will begin offering nine- to 12-night Mediterranean itineraries featuring the Greek Islands, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey. The cruises will call at a variety of destinations across the region, including Mykonos, Kavala, Corfu, Naples, Dubrovnik and Kusadasi. Other notable features include 13-hour stays in Istanbul and scenic cruising along the coast of Montenegro.

The Spirit-class vessel is scheduled to operate five Mediterranean cruises before beginning its repositioning voyage to North America in early November. The 15-night transatlantic crossing will take Carnival Legend from Civitavecchia to Tampa, with visits to Spain, the United Kingdom and Bermuda along the way.

The ship will begin its winter program in mid-November, sailing five- to eight-night Caribbean cruises from Tampa. These itineraries will visit destinations in Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Belize and Jamaica, including Cozumel, George Town, Belize City and Montego Bay.

In April 2027, Carnival Legend will reposition to the West Coast ahead of a summer season featuring cruises to Alaska and Canada.

Carnival Cruise Line is set to double its European presence in 2027, when two of its ships will operate in the region during the summer. Carnival Sunshine will join Carnival Miracle to offer cruises in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and North Africa. The 2027 season will also see Carnival make its first calls at destinations in Morocco and Tunisia, including Tangier and Tunis.
