Carnival Cruise Lines to Extend Exotic Eastern Caribbean Cruise Program from Miami

Carnival Cruise Lines is expanding its previously announced program of seven-day, four-port “Exotic Eastern Caribbean” voyages from Miami, featuring visits to stunning Half Moon Cay, a private Bahamian island, and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands, on the 2,758-passenger Carnival Triumph.

The itinerary also features the widely popular ports of St. Thomas, USVI, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The cruises were originally scheduled to be offered every other week from April through August 2007 followed by Carnival Triumph’s shift to New Orleans to operate weekly Caribbean cruises from that port beginning late August 2007.

Instead, Carnival Triumph will remain in Miami at least through April 2008 and the “Exotic Eastern Caribbean” itinerary will switch from every other week to weekly beginning August 25. Carnival reintroduced its cruise program from New Orleans in October 2006 with the launch of four and five-day cruises on the Super Liner Fantasy.
