Carnival’s major expansion on the Bermuda beat in 2011

Carnival Cruise Lines is to dramatically expand its Bermuda cruise schedule in 2011, offering 16 departures to the island from four popular eastern US homeports - Baltimore, Norfolk, New York and, for the first time, Charleston.

The 16 Bermuda voyages - the most the line has ever offered - will encompass a variety of six, seven and eight-day cruises from April to November.

Says Carnival president Gerry Cahill: “Bermuda is one of the world’s most desirable cruise destinations, and offering three different cruise lengths from four East Coast homeports provides our guests with an unprecedented variety of choices for visiting this beautiful island paradise.”

Carnival’s 2011 Bermuda departures include:

Baltimore: seven-day cruises on Carnival Pride) - April 10 and 17, September 18, October 2 and November 6

New York: seven and eight-day departures on Carnival Miracle - April 14 and 21, and September 11 and 27

Norfolk: six-day sailing on Carnival Glory -October 16

Charleston: six-day voyages on Carnival Fantasy- April 23, May 19, June 16, August 25, September 15 and October 6

All 16 voyages will dock at King’s Wharf, and while in Bermuda guests can sample the island’s many fine restaurants, shops and boutiques, and visit a number of interesting sites and landmarks. Six-day voyages will offer two-day calls at King’s Wharf while seven and eight-day cruises will feature three-day visits.

During their visit to Bermuda, guests can relax on the island’s legendary pink sand beaches and enjoy a wide variety of watersports, including snorkeling, kayaking and scuba diving. Shore excursions visiting historic sites such as the Royal Naval Dockyard and Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse, the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the Western Hemisphere, also are available.

Through Carnival’s golf program, guests also can hit the links and play the island’s most challenging and beautiful courses.
