Carnival Cruise Lineโ€™s announcement to cancel all U.S. voyages up to February was a bit of a shock to everyone, and certainly not expected. But, as we like to look on the bright side of life, we were wondering already: What Carnival cruise ships are set to resume in February 2021?

Weโ€™ve compiled the complete list of Carnival cruise ships that will, likely, be sailing from the U.S. in February according to the official website. If you are looking for a Fun cruise in February, this is the complete guide for you!

Don’t forget that February will bring the long-awaited arrival of Carnival’s newest and largest-ever cruise ship named Mardi Gras.

What else is new for Carnival Cruise Line in February? Homeports are as expected Miami and Port Canaveral, but with the addition of multiple departures from Galveston, Texas. This could be a move to lighten the load for Miami, which is expected to be carrying the most amount of ships. Galveston is also one of the main cruise hubs for Carnival and one of the busiest in the country.

It is important to know that the situation is very fluid and cruise itineraries could change further as the cruise line follows the CDC Conditional Sailing Order framework. A phased-in return is expected, here are the departures Carnival is showing right now:

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras will make her long-awaited arrival on the fun scene! After construction that has seen multiple delays due to COVID-19, it looks like the wait is over. There is still space to be had on all voyages in February, including the maiden voyage!
