Carnival Cruise Lines will for the first time operate a series of seven week-long Bermuda cruises round-trip from New York on the 88,500-ton Carnival Pride, which entered service in January 2002. Additionally, the line will again in 2003 offer two six-day Bermuda cruises from both Philadelphia and Baltimore on the 88,500-ton Carnival Legend, also newly launched in 2002.


Carnival's 2003 Bermuda voyages include:

New York (summer 2003) - seven week-long sailings aboard the Carnival Pride from July 16 to Aug. 27, 2003 Baltimore (spring and fall 2003) - two six-day voyages aboard the Carnival Legend departing April 29 and Oct. 28, 2003

Philadelphia (spring and fall 2003) - two six-day voyages aboard the Carnival Legend departing May 6 and Oct. 21, 2003

All 11 voyages will dock at historic King's Wharf, a centuries-old port city that is home to exceptional shopping and dining opportunities, as well as a number of interesting sites and landmarks. During their stay in Bermuda - which includes four days in King's Wharf aboard Carnival Pride voyages from New York and three days on Carnival Legend departures from Baltimore and Philadelphia - guests can also visit the island's legendary pink beaches and partake in a wide variety of watersports, including snorkeling, kayaking and scuba diving. Through Carnival's popular on-board golf program, golfers can receive professional instruction both aboard ship and during excursions to Bermuda's top courses.

Reservations for Carnival's six- and seven-day Bermuda sailings are expected to be open by the end of this week.
Prices for the six-day Bermuda sailings from Baltimore and Philadelphia start at $749 per person; seven-day Bermuda cruises from New York are available beginning at $1,149 per person, based on double occupancy. Special rates for third and fourth guests sailing in the same stateroom, along with round-trip air transportation from a variety of North American gateways, are also available.
