Carnival Cruise Line extends its pause on sailings from the United States until April 30, 2021, and cancels operations in Australia until May 19, 2021.
In addition, Carnival has canceled the European itineraries of Carnival Legend that were scheduled to begin this May until October 31, 2021, and has moved the start date of Mardi Gras from Port Canaveral, with the first cruise now set for May 29, 2021.
Customers with reservations and travel agents are being notified directly of the cancellations and their options for a generous future cruise credit and onboard credit package, or a full refund.
“Our customers and travel agent partners continue to express their loyalty to Carnival and their desire to return to our ships as soon as possible, and we are encouraged by the booking demand and activity we continue to see. We are committed to welcoming them back as soon as possible, but unfortunately, we have been forced to extend the pause in our operations, and the situation in Europe will also affect the Mardi Gras sailing to the United States and Carnival Legend’s European itineraries,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
