Exotic Destinations
There’s Carnival-style fun waiting at every port:
- For your New Year's cruise, choose from the tropical Caribbean islands, The Bahamas and its crystal-clear waters, or culture-packed Mexico.
- Wake up in a new port each morning — it’s like taking multiple vacations in one trip!
- Find great activities ashore like snorkeling, parasailing or swimming with dolphins.
- Taking it slow is always an option, too — think sunning on the beach, catamaran cruising or swaying hammocks in the shade.
