Carnival Horizon has just two more regular cruises from New York until a Miami arrival! The newest Carnival cruise ship which joined the fleet in Spring 2018 will finally arrive at the cruise capital of the world.
Carnival Horizon Coming to Miami
The second Vista class ship has just two more cruises until Miami. The ship is departing today from her current homeport in New York City for an 8-night Eastern Caribbean cruise. After that, the ship will sail a short 4-night cruise from the Big Apple to Bermuda and then will leave for PortMiami with no regular passengers onboard, just VIP guests and people working in the industry. This repositioning voyage will be nice for the hard-working crew members!
Carnival Horizon will arrive in Miami on September 20 marking the start of the year-round service with the new Carnival flagship. Before the regular service begins there will be a short 2-night teaser cruise departing later in the day and sailing to Nassau in the Bahamas and back to Miami.
