CCL-Carnival Cruise Line has published the next phase of its 2027-2028 deployment schedule, designating Carnival Firenze for a new series of voyages from NYC (New York) and assigning Carnival Splendor additional itineraries that extend the line’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region. These assignments follow the ship’s repositioning plans and align with CCL's strategy of linking major global homeports with varied cruise experiences.
Before assuming her New York homeport, Carnival Firenze is scheduled to undertake a single Carnival Journeys Southern Caribbean passage from Miami on May 16th, 2027, that calls at Celebration Key (Grand Bahama), Aruba, Curacao and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Upon arrival in New York on May 27th, 2027, the vessel will commence a programme of short and mid-length round-trip cruises from Manhattan. These include 4- and 5-day excursions to Bermuda and Canadian destinations, a special 5-day New England and Canada rotation with port calls at Portland, Maine and Saint John's, NL Canada, and longer itineraries such as a 7-day cruise with multiple consecutive days in Bermuda and a selection of 8-day Eastern Caribbean cruises incorporating Celebration Key, Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay.
Concurrently, Carnival Splendor is slated to introduce four sailings during season 2027-2028, broadening CCL’s global deployment footprint. These voyages range from a short 3-day itinerary featuring two sea days to a 4-day cruise to Moreton Island from Sydney NSW. In addition, Splendor will undertake two Carnival Journeys (repositioning cruises) in Southeast Asia to and from Singapore following a scheduled drydocking. The first of these extended sailings departs Sydney on July 31st, 2027, for 15 days, with calls at Moreton Island, Airlie Beach and Cairns in Australia, and Lembar and Benoa (Denpasar) in Indonesia, and includes an Equator-crossing sea day. A subsequent 16-day return voyage reverses the routing with an additional call in Darwin, Australia.
