Carnival's new "Magic" will cruise the Med. homeported out of Barcelona |
||||||||||||||||
|
Carnival Cruise Lines’ newest ship, the
3,690-passenger Carnival Magic, will debut with seven-, nine- and 12-day
Mediterranean cruises operating roundtrip from Barcelona from May to October
2011. This marks Carnival’s first full season of Mediterranean cruises in three
years, as well as the first time the line has homeported a ship in Barcelona. To commemorate the line’s return to Europe, for the first time ever Carnival is offering an exclusive pre-sale for past guests from Jan. 19 to Jan. 25, including complimentary two-category upgrades, along with special rates starting at $829 per person, based on double occupancy. For consumers new to Carnival, the line’s full range of cruise fares will open on Jan. 26. The 130,000-ton Carnival Magic will offer a host of features found on its sister ship Carnival Dream, including a WaterWorks aqua park, a café/live entertainment venue called Ocean Plaza, Serenity adults-only retreat, facilities for children and teens, and a wide range of stateroom categories. Several innovations unique to the Carnival Magic will be announced in the coming months. “Our past guests and travel agent partners have provided a tremendous amount of feedback in terms of their desire for more Mediterranean cruises from Carnival,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival’s president and CEO. “Making the decision to return to Europe is an indicator of our confidence in the increasing willingness of North Americans to travel internationally as we move toward 2011.” Carnival Magic’s 2011 Mediterranean schedule will encompass three seven-day departures, six nine-day cruises, and eight 12-day voyages round-trip from Barcelona May 10 to Oct. 16, 2011. A one-time nine-day voyage from Venice to Barcelona will operate May 1 to 10, 2011. Each of the three itineraries start and end on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, which reflects consumers’ traditional vacation patterns and provides opportunities for a pre- and post-cruise stay. Seven-day cruises will feature Monte Carlo, Monaco; and Livorno, Rome (Civitavecchia), Naples and Messina, Italy. Departure dates include July 3, July 10 and July 17, 2011. Nine-day cruises will call at Marseille, France; Monte Carlo (excluding the Aug. 26 departure); Livorno, Rome (Civitavecchia), Naples, and Messina, Italy; and Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Voyages will operate June 3, June 24, Aug. 5, Aug. 26, Sept. 16 and Oct. 7, 2011. The nine-day cruise departing May 1 will visit Dubrovnik, Croatia; Messina, Naples, Rome, Livorno, Italy; and Monte Carlo. |
