Carnival Cruise Line adding fourth ship at Galveston
Carnival Cruise Line will deploy a fourth ship at Galveston from 2021.
Carnival Radiance will be added in May 2021, joining Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream and Carnival Vista.
Carnival Victory gets a $200 million month-long refurbishment next year and will then sail as the new Carnival Radiance.
Radiance will offer five-day sailings to Cozumel and Progreso or Costa Maya, as well as a couple of nine-day Caribbean cruises and longer 14-day itineraries across the Caribbean, Central and South America.
"With these enhancements, we’re providing our guests with more voyages, destinations and choices from Texas than ever before," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival began sailing from Galveston nearly 20 years ago and added a third ship in 2015.
It says more than eight million cruisers have sailed from the port.
The line also announced this week it is extending an agreement with Mobile’s Alabama Cruise terminal to homeport Carnival Fantasy there until November 2022.
