Journeys - 14-Day Transatlantic

Learn to cook, Steakhouse-style from our team of chefs as they demonstrate the tricks of the trade used to make those multi-course dinners everyone loves so much. We take the joy of cooking and transform it into a delightful hour-long presentation of kitchen skill and ingenuity… where taste tests are always included.

Tip: This fun-for-the-whole-family event fills up fast, so get there early.

Are you known back home as the cocktail captain; raising spirits, mixing it up and pouring it over ice… pleasing the palates of friends and family, alike? Come cruise and show us what you’ve got. The onboard competition may be stiff, but don’t let that shake you — stir up your signature concoction and make flavor worth a savor using spirits from all over the map. We’ve got rum, mon, and there’s tequila, hombre… plus there’s even more to work with. Throughout the cruise, everyone will be able to enjoy this winning cocktail at bars throughout the ship.

From the soft and fruity flavour of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, for those who appreciate wine, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must. Choose from three packages featuring selections from Italy, New Zealand, France, Australia, Germany, California, Washington and Oregon. Sip and savour favourites at a discounted price — ask your Dining Room server how.

You don’t need to be a mix-master to appreciate Alchemy – you just have to be up for trying something new. We’ve been stirring up some magic behind the scenes here at Carnival to produce a tasty series of all-new cocktails served at this unique vintage-themed cocktail “pharmacy.”

Let our cocktail specialists prescribe you something from the bar, with both nonalcoholic and alcoholic elixirs to remedy what ails you. Or, create your own custom concoction from a variety of unique ingredients.

Guests have told us we hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. We've taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher, plus plenty of Carnival’s signature private-label draft beer, ThirstyFrog Summer Ale.

With wall-to-wall activities on offer, most people wouldn’t consider their cruise as a great time to read a book, but you’ll find the bibliophilic faithful stretched out on deck chairs, enjoying the sun, sea breeze… and a page-turner. Forgot to bring a book? E-reader battery just died? Carnival ships feature an onboard library stocked with the good stuff. For the silent types, it’s a great place to read, but if the roar of the ocean is more your soundtrack, the library is a great place to find a good read to devour, al fresco.

Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen — the really big screen — and settle in for a night at the cinema… under some real stars. From the comfort of your poolside lounge chair, or even the pool itself, you'll enjoy the most recent blockbuster movies at our cruise ship theatre.

And don't think a cruise cinema in the middle of the sea means going without the usual comforts. There's not only popcorn — who could forget that? — but blankets! So, lounge around, snuggle up and try to remember the last time you truly enjoyed a night at the movies. And the good news is there’s a heap of other cruise entertainment for the other days and nights you’re at sea. Stick with the cinema experience and be blown away with our Thrill Theatre or IMAX experience.

Check out our stage shows and playlist productions, and the amazing Airia aerial illusionist. If laughter and interaction is more your thing, a night at the Punchliner Comedy Club, singing karaoke, or showing off with our Lip Sync Battle are a lot of fun. And there’s plenty for the kids to do, if you just want to laze around in any of our outdoor pools.

When was the last time you got up and danced… at the theater? Playlist Productions takes tunes you know and puts them live on stage, transforming them into full blown musical productions featuring pro singers and dancers rocking the house.

Our stage shows are designed to razzle and dazzle. Featuring talented singers, musicians and dancers performing crowd-thrilling numbers in extravagant costumes with awesome sets and scenery, it's like catching one of the best shows on land. All performances are created to ensure that every night feels like opening night. And best of all, since shows are included in your fare, it's like having top-dollar tickets to the hottest show in town, absolutely free.

You can channel your inner rock star as you cross the channels and transcend musical boundaries with cruise karaoke onboard Carnival.

Rockers and rollers of all ages can hold the mic and audience captive in one. Regularly scheduled karaoke events on your cruise are open to all, so budding country music luminaries, pop stars and rock gurus in the making simply need to front up and put on a show.

The Carnival cruise karaoke song list is bound to hit the right note for cruise goers of all musical tastes. All the latest billboard chart toppers and a smattering of old-time favourites are tossed into the mix to ensure that music lovers of all genres, preferences and age groups can sing out loud to their heart’s content.

All you need is a zest for fun and a tune to strum the heartstrings. With regular karaoke events and, of course, all song lyrics included, you’ll be in fine voice no matter where you’re headed.

Want to rock 'n' roll every night and every day? Well, you've come to the right ship. We reckon we’re the best cruise line for live music, with so many cruise shows, venues, and live bands to choose from. We really are a live music cruise that brings some of the best performers on land out to sea for an ambiance that can't be beat. From happy-go-lucky island rock at RedFrog Pub to sing-alongs at the piano bar, to a heap of karaoke, chances are you'll find a live performance on board that gets your hands clapping and toes tapping. And don’t forget to enjoy the nightclub, Playlist Productions, Lip Sync Battles and brilliant Stage Shows. And then there’s our other cruise entertainment including bars, Comedy Club, and our popular dive-in movies.

You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you’ve seen it on TV… and now you’ll find it on your next Carnival cruise. When it comes to Deal or No Deal at sea, there are actually TWO ways you could win — and only one of them is reserved for the lucky contestant up on the stage! It works like this: buy a game card (or save money by buying two), and each card you hold gives you another a chance to be randomly selected to take the stage and play the fan-favorite game of eliminating briefcases throughout the rounds for a shot at $1,000. But even if you’re not selected, you’re still in the game — matches on your game card let you move up the prize board. (And up to $5,000 goes to lucky cardholders in the audience!) Of course it’s 18+ to play, but everyone’s welcome to watch the fun from the studio audience. Deal?

There are two kinds of people — land people and sea people. Unless they were born on a pirate ship, pretty much everybody starts out as a land person. And look, there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s a process for becoming a sea person, and the Sailaway Party on your first Carnival cruise is where the transformation occurs. It’s actually pretty easy: get there and… you’re in the club and ready to celebrate! (Then, on your second Carnival cruise — and let’s be honest, you’ll be back — strap on your sea legs, find a cruise newbie and join them in a toast to the great times to come.)

Wanna splish — and splash — the day away? Head on over to Carnival WaterWorks™, our onboard waterpark, for the ultimate fun. First up, there's Carnival’s Twister Waterslide™, hundreds of feet of spiraling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere. Or you can take the epic plunge from our Green Thunder and Green Lightning slides.

The great news is our ultimate cruise waterpark is not the only kids fun onboard. Stay wet with any of our popular pools and dive-in movies. Daredevils will love our Bolt sea coaster. Or perhaps you’d prefer the slower pace with our mini golf course. And there’s plenty for kids of all ages to do indoors as well, including Camp Ocean and our fitness centre.

POOL DAY! Cruising the high seas combined with some of the best cruise ship pools at sea to float your cruise-going dreams at Carnival. Whether today's the day for a bit of a dip, a dash of splash or even some swimming — or just a serious poolside lounging session — your Carnival cruise has just the pool for you. In fact, a cruise ship pool is so important to a great cruise that we designed our ships to have a few of them. At an aft pool you'll catch a breeze, plus a sea view featuring the ship's wake, while midship pools are adjacent to that oh so sweet 24/7 ice-cream spot! And no matter which you find yourself chilling in, the sunbeams are there for the taking! And our cruise ship pools are only part of the aqua park fun. Our Green Thunder and Green Lightning waterslides are fun for all ages, as are our dive-in movies and Waterworks water park. And don’t forget our other family outdoor activities such as .

Whether you’re in the market for a special piece of jewellery, or just shopping around for designer sunglasses, accessories and artisan leather bags, duty-free shopping at our cruise accessory shops are a must. All of Carnival’s state-of-the-art fleet of cruise ships offer cruise accessory shops onboard for cruise goers.

While you’re there, keep an eye out for limited-time-only special events — the perfect deal on that watch gift set or resort fashions may only come along once per sailing. But while pop-up sales may come and go, the tax-free, duty-free savings — which you definitely won’t find on land — are available all cruise long!

Whether your cruise wear clothing is swimwear or cocktail dresses designed to stand out, the cruise clothes shop on a Carnival ship is a must visit. A cruise clothes shop has never been so much fun or offered such a variety of styles, designer clothing, and cruise wear clothing options. You can shop until you drop at our cruise clothes shop, with the extensive selection of cruise wear clothing for men, women and children.

You can even window shop and grab a bargain when it presents itself. Especially as cruise shops are duty free. Get your cruise fashion as part of our big range of shopping onboard. With luxury retailers and a range of different cruise shops, you’ll definitely find what you’re looking for. Shop for watches, accessories, designer clothing, jewelry, and all the beauty products you’ll ever need. You can also grab a few drinks and make a day of it.

Time isn’t really a big deal on vacation, so it may seem surprising that one of the best times to save on watches is during your cruise. But it’s true! From the simple to the sporty, the intricate to the luxurious, our onboard Fun Shops™ have a selection to fit your style, your wrist… and even your budget. Grab a new dive watch for your shore excursion, or something sparkly for elegant night, and you’ll save 35% to 75% off retail prices. Whether it’s a timepiece to commemorate a great vacation, a thoughtful gift for someone back home, or just because the time is right — all purchases are tax-free and duty-free! — head to The Fun Shops for big-time savings.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when you pay a visit to the cruise beauty shops onboard Carnival. With the offer of top-selling beauty brands, at up to 25 per cent of the recommended retail price, the beauty allure is simply irresistible at our cruise beauty shops.

Part of Carnival’s Fun Shops, these stores offer an extensive product selection from all the popular international beauty brands. If you’re in the market for a new lipstick, designer fragrance, skincare, cosmetics, hair and health products, our cruise beauty shops are your one-stop shop. Cruise holiday goers should also keep an eye out for Travel Exclusives, which offer extra-special prices on famous brands that you can only find on ship and in store at our cruise beauty shops.

Somebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's the Adult-Only Serenity™ Retreat. You’ll still be on the same ship as the kids, but it will feel like an adult’s cruise. The adults-only retreat allows you to easily forget the Carnival-style excitement. Well, leave it to the kids anyway. You can sit back and enjoy a spa and hot tub, beauty salon, and facial treatment. And our Carnival cruise ship also includes the amazing Cloud 9 Spa, with a thermal suite, thalassotherapy pool, and more. Once you’re relaxed, enjoy the nightlife and visit a bar, casino, or nightclub. And let the kids have their fun as well, with lots to do for tweens or teens. Enjoy adults cruise activities to reconnect with your partner, finish that book, have some lavish some spa time, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.

The running track length encompasses the deck-level perimeter of your Carnival cruise ship. The length of three football fields, the jogging tracks encircle the top deck, thus offering ample mileage for long-distance or shorter-term running styles, speeds and duration.

There’s nothing quite like an open-air run on a padded track, accompanied by inviting sea breezes and sweeping ocean views, to set your spirit soaring. The cruise ship running tracks or jogging tracks onboard your Carnival cruise ship are designed for all ages to line up, gather pace and momentum, align your long-term fitness goals or simply run for the fun. Use of the cruise ship jogging tracks and fitness centres are inclusive of your cruise.

We have some bad news for you — your Carnival ship has a cruise gym. In other words, there’s no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That’s great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that a rejuvenating cruise is sure to generate. And let’s not forget the extra time you’ll have, since you won’t be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that.

Our cruise gym and fitness centre are part of our health, fitness, and spa activities, offering a commitment to your mind, body, and soul. We also have a basketball court and jogging track, and all the spin classes, fitness classes, and personal training you’ll need. Oh, we said wellbeing didn’t we. That means spas, massages, thalassotherapy pool, and Serenity Adults Only retreat. Stay fit and relax. Sounds perfect.

All of Carnival’s world-class cruise ships offer gym classes in state-of-the-art fitness centres. The spacious gym settings, offering the latest gym equipment and a range of popular core gym classes, set the scene for your fitness dreams. No matter your preferred workout mode, Carnival’s cruise ships offer a wide range of group exercise classes in fitness centres that feature state-of-the-art elliptical treadmills, weight machines and cardio equipment.

You can have all the will in the world, a great attitude that keeps you working hard at the gym, but still not see the results you’re hoping for. If that’s the case — or you’re just looking to shake things up with a little extra fun or challenge in your workout — check out Carnival’s selection of onboard fitness classes. Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there’s a fitness class that’ll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right. Looking for a little extra attention? Look to personal training for a workout with that personal touch.

Carnival has your pressure points covered with a range of cruise ship acupuncture and Chinese medicinal therapeutic services.

Even if you’re onboard and on the open waters, alternative and traditional remedies are always close at hand with Carnival’s licensed acupuncturists and all cruise ship medical care provided by highly qualified cruise ship doctors.

Our cruise ships offer qualified acupuncture care that is designed to target and relieve all your trouble spots. If you’re suffering from back pain, arthritis, digestive disorders and more, or simply seek to overhaul your internal system holistically and effectively, you should make an appointment with the qualified acupuncturist on your next Carnival cruise. You’ll not only gain a new lease on life, but an acupuncture session will also revive your spirit of adventure.

With the cruise acupuncture specialists, you’ll be fighting fit in no time — with pinpoint accuracy. Simply book an appointment with your cruise acupuncturist if and when the need or inclination arises on your Carnival cruise.

As if Carnival cruises couldn’t get any more relaxing. Our range of cruise massage options, as well as our stunning shore excursions, can help restore your physical and mental wellbeing. Cruise ship passengers aged 18 years and above can select from a range of massage therapy for an additional cost, including seaweed for detoxifying, herbal poultice to revive energy levels, bamboo for deep tissue relief and hot stones for heat-seeking perfection.

Cruise ship massage therapists are on hand, so to speak, to provide rejuvenating spa treatments and massage therapy while you float your cares away on your Carnival cruise holiday. Carnival cruise massage therapists are all highly qualified in their chosen discipline of traditional and alternative massage therapy and spa treatments.

A trip to the cruise salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, and spend some time on you.

We even offer services like teeth whitening… great for taking those ‘I’m on holidays and I’m looking great!’ selfies to the next level. And you’ll be spoilt for relaxation and beauty choice with our salon services. As well as our cruise salon you can enjoy our Cloud 9 Spa with thermal suite and thalassotherapy pool, Serenity Adults Only retreat, or even our men’s spa services.

When families cruise Carnival, even the smallest fish in the pond have a big, awesome time. Okay, so it’s actually way more than just a pond — it’s Camp Ocean®. At Camp Ocean, 2–11 year-olds stay busy, keep active and have fun as they enjoy all new ocean-themed activities and entertainment made for kids. We put campers into supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label that’s sure to raise the sails on camaraderie at sea.

The littlest little ones — ages 2 to 5 —join the Penguin® colony and engage in activities like Musical Icebergs and Ocean Bingo… even learning a thing or two about buoyancy! The little-biggers, 6 to 8, are the way-cool Stingrays®, who might be found enjoying Pirate Game Night, making sea salt art or even designing their own aquarium. The big fish are the Sharks® — ages 9 to 11 — who really sink their teeth into playing Marine Life Trivia, creating a giant ocean mural, and scoring big with sea-themed volleyball or soccer.

Our counselors, each with education or childcare experience, are there to make sure everyone in these small groups has an amazing time.

Think back — as a kid, was there anything better than staying up late? Even as an adult, nighttime is funtime, especially with all there is to do on your Carnival cruise. We have the perfect thing for you AND for your kids, and it’s called “Night Owls”! For a nominal fee, kids 11 and under can fun it up with others their age until as late as 12 a.m. They’ll enjoy music, activities, games and giveaways at supervised parties while you enjoy… whatever it is you do at night these days, all without a worry.

What does the “C” in Circle “C” stand for? Well, “chill,” “connect” and “cool,” just to name a few. It’s where young teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities like dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, in the special Circle “C” area or around the ship. It’s all supervised by friendly and fun-loving counsellors who want your young teens to have the best holiday ever.

Carnival offers Club O2, a cruise kids’ club, designed for teens aged 15-17 to meet, greet, play sport, video games and engage in karaoke jam sessions with their like-minded and fun-filled peers. Club O2 provides parents with much-needed breathing space and relaxation time, safe in the knowledge that their kids are thoroughly entertained, educated and enthralled with the wide range of kids’ club activities on offer onboard.

To kids, arts and crafts is a fun way to spend an afternoon. To a parent, on the other hand, it’s something much more. From their earliest finger-paintings, to macaroni art and beyond, the stuff they bring home is more than just stuff — it’s art — and every last scrap of it is nothing short of precious, the work of a master. Your Carnival cruise presents plenty of opportunities for your budding Picassos to express themselves, from paintings that will take pride of place on your fridge, to less traditional media like sand art, hand-decorated t-shirts, pirate treasures and beyond. You know, future living-room-museum pieces.

A Carnival cruise gives kids plenty of chances to make new friends… but never before quite like this. When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea, they use their small hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life. They can customise theirs from head to toe by choosing the clothing and accessories, and even give their new friend a voice and message of its own by integrating a customisable voice chip. The cuddly bears are just the beginning — these stuffed friends come in all shapes, like a monkey, sea turtle, dog, bunny… and the cutest shark imaginable. There’s even a bear with a special Carnival-exclusive design!

From the whimsical and always wonderful world of Dr. Seuss comes Cats in Hats, Fish Red and Blue, and both kinds of Things — 1 and 2. And they’re all coming to a Carnival cruise near you as the world of Dr. Seuss leaps off the page and onto Seuss at Sea.

Dr. Seuss’s timeless stories are the kind kids memorise, and this is the kind of cruise you’ll remember for a lifetime. The whole family will still enjoy all the classic Carnival activities, but the littlest ones, and their families, will also enjoy an all-new, extra-special experience as the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss comes to life around them.

Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favourite Dr. Seuss friends and more. Seuss at Sea truly brings your child’s favourite books to life.

Pack your imagination, but don’t forget your appetite as the whole family embarks on a breakfast that’s part meal, and part journey into the deliciously whimsical world of Dr. Seuss.

Sit down to a truly fantastical feast at Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and Friends. Bright colors and patterns decorate your table, which features fun and unique menus.

Feast! Feast! Feast! Lose yourself exploring a delicious menu where you’ll find “Green Eggs and Ham,” brightly colored fruit, gravity-defying pancake stacks, funky french toast, “Moose Juice” ‘n’ ”Goose Juice”… and much more. (Classic breakfast offerings are available as well.) Breakfast is also the perfect time to meet and greet the stars of Dr. Seuss — characters will be around for special photo opportunities and fun interactions, making this a meal to remember.
