Carnival completes record-breaking 2024 ship visit programme

Wednesday, 17 Sep, 2024 0

Carnival Cruise Line has concluded its biggest-ever UK travel agent ship visit programme.

It welcomed a total of 250 agents onboard the 2,124-guest Carnival Legend for a ship tour and lunch at the Lido.

The ship visits were held from June to August in Dover, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Belfast.

Jess Hartley, from Paramount Cruises, said: “We were given plenty of insight into everything Carnival, broadening our knowledge. Ship visits enable us to bring the product to life for our clients.”

Carnival also hosted 15 agents from Barrhead Travel for a one-off visit on Carnival Glory in May, in Barcelona.

Iain Baillie, VP international sales at Carnival Cruise Line, said: “We’re delighted that so many travel agents were able to join us this summer. There is no substitute for first-hand experience, as it enables our trade partners to develop their brand knowledge.”

Next year, Carnival Miracle will operate nine sailings from Dover, with nine, 12 and 15-day itineraries.

The line’s ship visit programme will be announced in due course.

Carnival has also revealed it will operate a solar eclipse cruise as part of its ex-UK 2026 summer season.

The 11-day Carnival Journeys Eclipse voyage on Carnival Legend will depart Dover on August 9, with the solar eclipse taking place on August 12.

The itinerary is part of a programme of nine cruises from Dover, with nine to 12-day voyages on sale now.
