Now you can find Paradise all year long cruising from Tampa

Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2,052-passenger Carnival Paradise has arrived in Tampa to begin a year-round programme of four and five-day western Caribbean cruises.

Carnival Paradise departs Thursdays on four-day cruises to Cozumel and on Mondays and Saturdays on five-day voyages to Cozumel and Grand Cayman.

Carnival Paradise is sailing year-round to the Caribbean from Tampa

Carnival Paradise replaces Carnival Inspiration, which has moved to Long Beach, California, to operate year-round three and four-day cruises, and joins the 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend, which sails year-round seven-day Caribbean voyages from Tampa,

Carnival Cruise Line is the only cruise line to offer year-round cruises from Tampa and has maintained a year-round presence since it launched seven-day Caribbean cruises in 1994.

Over the years, the company has dramatically expanded its presence at the Port of Tampa, adding newer and larger ships and offering a greater variety of itineraries.

This year, the line’s two-year-round ships, Carnival Paradise and Carnival Legend, are expected to carry an estimated 300,000 passengers from Tampa – a 10-fold increase versus Carnival’s first year of operations there.

“With its convenient location, excellent facilities and proximity to top tourist attractions, Tampa has become one of our most popular homeports and Carnival Paradise will provide an exciting and affordable short cruise option from Florida’s west coast,” said Carnival presidebnt Gerry Cahill.
