MIAMI — Carnival Cruise Line will expand capacity on its four- and five-day short cruise program from New Orleans by 34% when Carnival Triumph replaces Carnival Elation on this schedule next spring.

In turn, Carnival Elation will reposition to Jacksonville for year-round four- and five-day cruises and Carnival Fascination will shift to San Juan for year-round seven-day Caribbean cruises beginning in spring 2016. As previously announced, Carnival Liberty will replace Carnival Triumph on the line’s year-round four- and five- day cruise program from Galveston next spring.

“Repositioning these ships to New Orleans, Jacksonville and San Juan provides our guests and valued travel agent partners with fresh and exciting new ‘Fun Ship’ choices in three important and highly attractive cruise markets,” said Christine Duffy, Carnival’s president.

Reservations are currently being accepted for all of these cruise programs. For additional information and reservations, call 1-800-327-9501 (individual) or 1-800-327-5782 (groups) or visit the line’s travel agent Internet portal, GoCCL.com.
