For the first time, Carnival
Cruise Lines will operate an extended
schedule of voyages from Boston with a
series of roundtrip four- and five-day
Eastern Canada cruises aboard the
2,974-passenger Carnival Glory beginning in
June 2012. Carnival will be the only cruise
line offering short cruises from Boston to
the
Canadian Maritimes.
On the new program, Carnival Glory will sail from the recently refurbished Black Falcon Cruise Terminal on four-day “long weekend” cruises departing Thursdays to Saint John, New Brunswick, and five-day voyages departing Mondays and Saturdays to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Saint John.
The program will operate June 10 to July 26, 2012. One seven-day cruise will be offered June 3 to 10, 2012, with visits to Portland, Maine, and Saint John, Halifax and Sydney, Nova Scotia.
“Massport’s facilities are economic engines for the New England region and we expected our $11 million in capital improvements to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal would not only be appreciated by the more than 300,000 passengers who use the facility each year, but it would generate renewed interest from cruise lines in the Port of Boston,” said Thomas J. Kinton Jr., Massport’s CEO and executive director. “Bringing Carnival Cruise Lines to Boston for regularly scheduled service is not only good economic news, it will provide New England residents more choices in cruising vacations.”
Following its cruises from Boston, Carnival Glory will reposition to New York for a series of four-day voyages to Saint John and five-day voyages to Saint John and Halifax from Aug. 1 through Sept. 3, 2012. Carnival Glory will also offer five weeklong fall foliage cruises roundtrip from New York to Halifax, Saint John, Boston and Portland, Maine. Departure dates include Sept. 8, Sept. 15, Sept. 22, Sept. 29 and Oct. 6, 2012.
The ship will also operate a series of cruises roundtrip from Norfolk, Va., in the spring and fall. Spring six-day Bahamas departures will be available on May 15, May 21 and May 27. In the fall, there will be six-day Bahamas cruises departing Oct. 14 and Oct. 22, a five-day Bahamas cruise on Oct. 28, and a two-day cruise on Oct. 20, 2012.
