Carnival Cruise Line has opened new 2027/28 itineraries, featuring a mix of Caribbean sailings from three U.S. homeports and expanded European voyages, including a special solar eclipse sailing on July 29, 2027. Carnival Miracle will sail from Galveston, Texas, before heading to Europe for the summer season. Carnival Elation and Carnival Paradise will continue cruising from Jacksonville and Tampa, Fla., serving popular Caribbean destinations.
“While there will be many ways to view the Aug. 2 solar eclipse, seeing it from Carnival Miracle will definitely be the most fun way to do so,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Along with the great summer 2027 season in Europe, the combination of our large and diverse fleet and roster of U.S. homeports allows us to bring more variety and adventure to the 2027/28 season.”
