CCL-Carnival Cruise Line scheduled new fleet deployments for 2027–2028 that will see altered homeport arrangements in several USA ports and broadened Caribbean itineraries for multiple vessels.
In a deployment plan outlined by the company, the Carnival Miracle will join sistership Carnival Pride in Baltimore beginning in the fall of 2027. This makes Baltimore one of CCL's few homeports to host two ships simultaneously.
Carnivavl Miracle is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on November 20th, 2027, after a transatlantic crossing, and will sail a mix of 7-, 8- and 9-day Caribbean passages as well as extended 12- and 14-day Carnival Journeys (relocation cruises) visiting Dominica, Guadeloupe and St Maarten.
Carnival Pride will continue year-round operations from Baltimore, maintaining its service of 7-day Bahamas and Bermuda sailings along with longer itineraries to destinations including Aruba, Curacao and Barbados.
Further adjustments involve Carnival Firenze, which will homeport in Port Canaveral in fall 2027 and through mid-May 2028. Firenze's schedule includes short 4-night Bahamas getaways visiting CCL’s exclusive destination at Celebration Key, longer Eastern Caribbean routes, and Carnival Journeys into the Southern Caribbean. Firenze is also scheduled to operate a special 11-night Carnival Journeys from Miami in May 2027 with visits to Celebration Key, Aruba, Curacao and St Thomas before repositioning to New York City for seasonal summer 2028 service. These summer sailings from NYC will provide Caribbean access to that market before the ship returns to Port Canaveral for its year-round deployment.
