Carnival Miracle will arrive in Baltimore on Nov. 20, 2027,
following a 15-day transatlantic voyage from Civitavecchia, Italy.
“Baltimore has been an important homeport for Carnival for
more than two decades, and we’re excited to continue building on our year-round
operations with the addition of Carnival Miracle,” Carnival Cruise Line President
Christine Duffy said.
“By giving our guests more variety in itineraries and ships,
we’re giving them more reasons to take a Carnival Cruise vacation,” Duffy continued.
The cruise line also revealed that Carnival Pride will
continue to offer year-round cruises from Baltimore, including seven-day
Bahamas sailings, seven-day Bermuda cruises and extended nine-, 12-, and 14-day
