Carnival Cruise Line has opened sales for its 2025-26 deployment out of Galveston, Texas. Three ships will operate from the port – Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream, and the newest ship in the fleet, Carnival Jubilee, which is set to debut later this year. Sailings are now for sale through April 2026.

“Galveston is one of our most popular homeports, and the addition of Carnival Jubilee brings not only an all-new cruise experience and increased capacity, it also gives us the opportunity to freshen our offerings for the other popular ships homeported there, Carnival Dream and Carnival Breeze,” said Fred Stein, Carnival’s vice president of revenue planning and deployment. “Building on our strong portfolio of options out of Texas will give our guests in that region great new options as they look ahead and plan for their future vacations.”

The new sailings feature a range of four-, five-, six-, seven- and eight-day sailings. The following is a sampling of what each ship will offer beginning in May 2025. 

Week-long sailings aboard Carnival Jubilee visit the Western Caribbean destinations of Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, and Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.

New sailings open for Carnival Dream include six-day Western Caribbean cruises to Belize, Mahogany Bay, Costa Maya and Cozumel. Eight-day Eastern Caribbean cruises visit Key West and three stops in The Bahamas: Nassau, Freeport and Half Moon Cay. 

An array of four- and five-day cruises are available aboard Carnival Breeze, which will bring guests from Galveston to Mexico. On all its sailings, the ship will visit Cozumel, which is one of Carnival’s most popular destinations. Five-day itineraries add Progreso as a second port of call. 

Additional 2025-26 itineraries from other Carnival homeports will be announced in the coming weeks.
