Carnival Pride Adjusts Greenland Cruise Itinerary

The Carnival Pride recently reached Greenland as part of its 14-night Carnival Journeys cruise, which departed from Baltimore in late May.

Originally, the roundtrip sailing from Maryland was scheduled to stop in Nanortalik and Qaqortoq. However, adverse weather and ice conditions prompted adjustments to the planned itinerary.

Carnival informed passengers of potential changes before departure, noting: “We are sharing the steps that are being taken to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the voyage.” The company also explained, “In areas along our intended route, there is a significant presence of sea ice which could impact the itinerary.”

As a result, the ship made an overnight stop in Nuuk beginning May 31 instead of the initially planned ports. Prior to docking, guests enjoyed scenic cruising through the Godthåb Gulf, according to Carnival Brand Ambassador John Heald.

“I’m so happy for all of the guests that they got to see these majestic scenes. And I’m also really happy for the crew,” Heald shared in a social media update.

Alongside its Greenland call, the itinerary also includes stops in Canada. Before returning to Baltimore, the Carnival Pride will visit Sydney, Corner Brook, and Saint Anthony.

The 2001-built vessel will return to Greenland in August 2025 for a similar 14-night voyage. A second sailing to the region is also planned for 2026.

Operating year-round from Baltimore, the Spirit-class ship offers various itineraries, including seven-night cruises to Bermuda and the Bahamas. It also features extended journeys to the Caribbean, such as a 14-night Southern Caribbean cruise scheduled for November 2025, with stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Aruba, Curaçao, and more.
