GALVESTON, Texas — Carnival is adding another ship at the Port of Galveston, the cruise line announced Thursday. Carnival Legend will begin sailing in the fall of 2025.
Carnival Legend will join Carnival Dream, Carnival Breeze & Carnival Jubilee in the Port of Galveston for a variety of four, five, eight and 10-day cruises in the Western Caribbean. Carnival Legend will offer two Panama Canal cruises.
“Carnival Legend’s deployment in Galveston strengthens our already robust portfolio of sailings from Texas, adding more variety to the offered itineraries, as well as another ship choice, and more opportunities for cruises to Mexico and other Western Caribbean that fit any vacation length,” Fred Stein, Carnival’s vice president of revenue planning and deployment, said in a statement.
The 2,124-guest Carnival Legend has 50 suites and more than 630 balcony staterooms. It's home to signature venues like Guy’s Burger Joint, the BlueIguana Cantina, the RedFrog and Alchemy bars, WaterWorks Aqua Park and The Punchliner Comedy Club.
