Carnival’s Destiny

When the 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny begins a new schedule of four- and five-day cruises from Miami on Saturday, Sept. 27, it will not only provide consumers with an exciting new “Fun Ship” vacation option but will also be the largest ship to be deployed year-round on short cruise itineraries.

The 2,642-passenger Destiny — at one time the largest cruise ship in the world — is by far the biggest and most elaborate Carnival vessel ever to sail short itineraries full time. The ship is nearly 50% larger than the largest Carnival ships now operating voyages of five or fewer days, the 2,052-passenger Fantasy Class ships.

On its new Miami-based schedule, Carnival Destiny departs Thursdays on four-day cruises to Key West, Fla., and Cozumel, Mexico; Mondays on five-day cruises to Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands; and Half Moon Cay, a private Bahamian island; and Saturdays on five-day voyages to George Town, Grand Cayman; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica
