Carnival Opens 300+ Port Canaveral Sailings for 2028–29

Carnival Cruise Line has opened bookings for its 2028–29 Port Canaveral deployment, giving Florida cruise travelers more than 300 newly released departures across five ships.

The official lineup covers short Bahamas getaways, weeklong Caribbean cruises and longer Carnival Journeys voyages. Carnival says the deployment includes more than 200 visits to Celebration Key.

Five Carnival ships will sail from Port Canaveral

• Carnival Glory and Mardi Gras: three- to five-day cruises to The Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean. Carnival says every Carnival Glory sailing in this deployment includes Celebration Key.
• Carnival Breeze and Carnival Firenze: rotating weeklong Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, with ports that can include Amber Cove, San Juan, St. Thomas, Belize, Cozumel and Isla Tropicale.
• Carnival Festivale: six- and eight-day Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries, including options with Celebration Key, RelaxAway at Half Moon Cay, Aruba and Curaçao.

Carnival Breeze will also offer four 14-day Carnival Journeys voyages between October 2028 and February 2029, visiting a range of Southern Caribbean destinations.

Why this matters for Florida cruise planning

The release puts a broad mix of Port Canaveral dates on sale well in advance, from quick three-day trips to two-week voyages. That gives families and other date-sensitive travelers an early opportunity to compare school-break and holiday options.

Specific fares, cabin availability, port times and itineraries can change and should be confirmed at booking. This announcement is a deployment and booking release, not a promise of a particular fare.
