Carnival Cruise Line made several announcements on Thursday, including the addition of a second ship in Baltimore, new cruises for the 2027/28 season, and new deployment options for Carnival Firenze.
Beginning in the fall of 2027, Carnival Miracle will join Carnival Pride in Baltimore to offer guests a greater variety of Caribbean itineraries throughout the season, marking the first time the cruise line will homeport two ships from Baltimore.
Carnival Miracle will operate seven-, eight- and nine-day sailings to the Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean, along with extended 12- and 14-day voyages to Dominica, Guadeloupe, St. Maarten, and more.
Carnival Miracle will arrive in Baltimore on Nov. 20, 2027, following a 15-day transatlantic voyage from Civitavecchia, Italy.
“Baltimore has been an important homeport for Carnival for more than two decades, and we’re excited to continue building on our year-round operations with the addition of Carnival Miracle,” Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy said.
“By giving our guests more variety in itineraries and ships, we’re giving them more reasons to take a Carnival Cruise vacation,” Duffy continued.
The cruise line also revealed that Carnival Pride will continue to offer year-round cruises from Baltimore, including seven-day Bahamas sailings, seven-day Bermuda cruises and extended nine-, 12-, and 14-day voyages.
