Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Horizon arrived in Miami this week as the company prepares to resume operations out of North America.
The company, however, will first need to meet the CDC’s new Conditional Framework for the resumption of cruise service. Ships are expected to re-enter service in a staggered, phased-in gradual approach, with short cruises.
A look at the expected first sailing of each Carnival ship as the cruise industry gets back into service, based on announced deployment and cruises available for booking on Carnival’s website (all information is subject to change due to the COVID-19 crisis):
