Carnival Cruise Line says despite constructive talks with US health authorities over a July restart, many questions "remain unanswered".

The line removed the need for vaccinated guests to test prior to embarkation last Friday (12 August)

The order will create a new ship class for Carnival Cruise Line

The line wants to resume sailings onboard three ships from Florida and Texas, with Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze sailing from Galveston, and Carnival Horizon from Miami.


Additionally, it hopes to deploy Carnival Miracle to Seattle to take on some of Carnival Freedom’s Alaska departures, if a solution can be found to allow sailing to resume in the region.


Carnival said owing to the ongoing uncertainty, guests booked on these sailings are free to cancel without penalty by 31 May and receive a full refund.
