New Carnival Cruise Line ship Carnival Jubilee is to make its debut from Southampton next year.
The US line’s third Excel-class ship will run a re-positioning transatlantic sailing to its home port of Galveston in Texas.
The ship is scheduled to depart from the UK port on October 30, 2023 on an 18-night transatlantic crossing.
Ports of call include Vigo, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Funchal and Grand Turk before arriving in Texas.
The vessel will then run seven-day western Caribbean sailings from Galveston from November 18, 2023, with stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico, as well as Roatan in Honduras.
Carnival Jubilee joins sisters Mardi Gras, sailing from Port Canaveral since mid-2021, and Carnival Celebration, which will be based in Miami later this year.
The ships run on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology platform as part of parent company Carnival Corporation’s bid to cut emissions.
Carnival Jubilee will share features from its sister ships that guests know and love, including the Bolt roller coaster, expanded dining options, more than 20 different cabin categories and a three-deck atrium on the starboard side of the ship that overlooks the ocean and converts to an entertainment venue at night.
The ship will also have six zones like its sisters, two of which will be new concepts to be revealed at a later date.
Details on these and other news will be shared over the coming months, the company said as it put Carnival Jubilee ‘s inaugural cruises on sale for 2023 and 2024.
