Carnival Cruise Line has announced its lineup of 2026-27 cruises from two of its U.S. homeports: Tampa and Mobile. The new cruises are now available for booking onboard Carnival Paradise, Carnival Legend and Carnival Spirit, and destinations include the Caribbean, Mexico, the Panama Canal and more.

While Carnival Paradise will be based in Tampa year-round, Carnival Legend will be sailing seasonally. Carnival Paradise will offer a range of four-day Western Caribbean cruises and four-, five- and six-day Bahamas cruises, along with five- and six-day Western Caribbean cruises. Destinations include Cozumel, Mahogany Bay, Belize, Grand Cayman, Celebration Key, Princess Cays and Nassau.

From November 2026 through March 2027, Carnival Legend will offer a variety of Western Caribbean and Bahamas sailings from Tampa. A series of six- and seven-day cruises will include stops in Grand Cayman and Cozumel, as well as Costa Maya, Belize, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Mahogany Bay, Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. Three eight-day Western Caribbean sailings are also available, as well as two eight-day voyages to Panama, with stops in Limon, Grand Cayman and Colon, from where shore excursions to tour the Panama Canal are available for purchase. A 13-day “Carnival Journeys” cruise to Panama calls at Aruba, Curacao, Amber Cove and Colon.

Carnival Spirit will arrive back in Mobile, where it homeports seasonally, with a 16-day one-way "Carnival Journeys" cruise that transits the Panama Canal. The cruise departs Seattle October 8, 2026, and stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica and Cartagena. The line recently opened a "Carnival Journeys" sailing from Mobile to Seattle that takes place earlier in the year, in April 2026, ahead of the ship’s summer series in Alaska. These sailings will be the first cruises connecting the ship’s two seasonal homeport cities.

From October 2026 through March 2027, Carnival Spirit will resume its seasonal schedule of six-, seven- and eight-day cruises from Mobile to the Bahamas. Six-day Bahamas cruises all include stops at Celebration Key, with an additional stop in either Nassau, Bimini or Princess Cays. Seven-day cruises highlight Celebration Key with additional stops in Key West and Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays and Nassau. Ten eight-day Bahamas sailings visit Key West, Celebration Key and Nassau, along with either Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays.
