The Dream Vacations and CruiseOne 2027 National Conference will be held aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s new Carnival Festivale on October 24-30, sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida.
The new 5,356-passenger, 82,000-ton Excel-class ship, which is scheduled to enter service in May 2027, will include calls at Celebration RelaxAway in The Bahamas and Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic.
Carnival Festivale will feature, among many other things, Sunsation Point, a three-deck family zone; the line's largest waterpark at sea; expanded entertainment options; and an array of new dining options.
Empowering Advisors Through Firsthand Experiences
“One of the things that makes our National Conference so valuable is that it gives our travel advisors the opportunity to experience the industry’s newest ships firsthand,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager of Dream Vacations and CruiseOne.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Carnival Cruise Line and bring our network aboard Carnival Festivale in 2027 and travel on a unique itinerary, bringing them to several of the exclusive destinations that Carnival Cruise Line offers, combining hands-on product knowledge with a week of education, networking and unforgettable experiences,” Daly added. “When our advisors return home, they’re able to speak from personal experience and provide even better guidance to their clients.”
Carnival Senior Vice President of Trade Sales and Marketing Janet Wygert said: "We can’t wait to welcome the network aboard and give them a firsthand look at what makes Carnival the most fun vacation at sea. This event is about bringing people together, building relationships and celebrating a shared passion for travel.”
The 2026 Dream Vacations/CruiseOne National Conference will be held aboard Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas in October 2026.
