Get to Know Carnival Miracle

Carnival Miracle is a ship you may not believe when you see... but definitely don't miss seeing it!

When we say that Carnival Miracle takes you to another world, we mean that in every sense. Not only does this ship visit stunning destinations, but features incredible onboard spaces inspired by elements of fantasy. Escape from reality as you take in a show at the Phantom Lounge or a dance at Dr. Frankenstein's Lab. To lose yourself in a song, find your way to Sam's Piano Bar. Hungry? You'll find great food all over the place, from the casual fare of Horatio's to the artful eats of the Bacchus and Ariadne dining rooms... not to mention the world-class cuts at Nick & Nora's Steakhouse.

At Alchemy Bar® we make drinks into art, while the laid-back RedFrog Pub has "Caribbean cool" down to a science.And at Heroes Tribute Bar, we're always raising a glass to those who matter. Outdoors there's fun to be had, whether you're down for watersliding or up for simply sunning — Carnival WaterWorks has you covered (in water, that is), and the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat will get you relaxing in the sun or the shade, grown-up-style.

No matter your age, don't forget: the sweetest way to cap off the day is with a treat from Cherry On Top, our onboard candy-and-more store.
