Carnival Cruise Line
General
If you're thinking of cruising, there's a very good chance you're considering a Carnival cruise. Growing since our founding in 1972, Carnival Cruise Line - "The World's Most Popular Cruise Line" - now carries millions of guests every year. Plus we're so pumped about our latest ships, Carnival Jubilee, which set sail last December… and Carnival Firenze, now sailing from Long Beach!

Carnival Cruise Line is proud to be part of a family of companies owned by Carnival Corporation, which includes sister lines Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Cunard Line, among others.

In a nutshell… we’re all about fun vacations at sea and ashore! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos and more. (Like what? Like waterslides!) We invite our guests to come as they are, and we make everyone feel right at home with comfy staterooms, attentive service, casual and elegant dining, plus a variety of bars and gathering places indoors and out. Guests enjoy this unique experience against the backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful seaports.

Our 27 ships operate 2- to 29-day voyages, departing from every coast in the U.S. While we’re best known for Caribbean cruises, we sail to other exotic and amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe and Hawaii. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line Australia has two ships, and offers cruises from Sydney and Brisbane to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Ship
Carnival Valor
Overview

Your high seas hero Carnival Valor is here to rescue you from ordinary vacations and whisk you away to leisure, fun... and amazing destinations.

On your way you'll find onboard food spots designed to regale your palate, like BlueIguana Cantina and Guy's Burger Joint... plus the downright indulgent Scarlett's Steakhouse. Let yourself be swept away to RedFrog Pub or Alchemy Bar for a drink, or get a little carried away rooting for your favorites at SkyBox Sports Bar.

Kids can get caught up in all the excitement of being kids, hanging with others their age at Carnival Valor's three supervised youth spaces. Or they can join the wacky, wonderful Dr. Seuss bunch for character story-time (and more!) at Seuss at Sea. And pretty much anyone, young or slightly-less-young, will be thrilled by our 214-foot long, four-deck-tall Twister waterslide.

On the entertainment front, Playlist Productions takes tunes you know and presents them in song-and-dance, up-on-stage spectacular shows. And speaking of shows that transform... Hasbro, The Game Show turns childhood board game faves into large-scale competitive fun for the whole family.

If you thought for a second your vacation might be boring, now you know not to fear - Carnival Valor has what it takes to save any vacation!

City New Orleans

Unique in all the world, the lacy Creole look and carefree bon temps atmosphere of the Big Easy set it apart. Walk the balconied streets of the French Quarter to Audubon Park, sip chicory coffee and bite into a snowy beignet at Cafe du Monde, or recapture the antebellum gentility of Creole mansions and plantation homes in the surrounding parishes.

Costa Maya, Mexico

Cozumel, Mexico
City Cozumel

Sitting just off the gorgeous Yucatan coast, Cozumel revels in its mythic white-sand beaches and world-class coral reefs. Yet Cozumel is also the last stronghold of the Mayas, who settled the island in 300 A.D. Residents still speak Maya, and sometimes wear traditional Mayan clothing. Nearby stand the great pyramids and temples of their ancestors.
