FEATURING

WINTER 2015
Carnival
Magic to Operate Series of Four- to Six-Day Cruises in Winter 2015,
First-Ever Short Cruise Program for 130,000-ton Ship
MIAMI
(July 22, 2014) -- Following strong consumer response to Carnival
Triumph’s first-ever longer length voyages from Galveston and San Juan,
the cruise line has added three
new 10- to 12-day cruises departing in winter 2015 and visiting
beautiful and exotic destinations throughout the Caribbean and Central
and South America.
Additionally,
Carnival Magic will offer a series of four- to six-day voyages from
Galveston in winter 2015, marking the first time that the 130,000-ton
ship has offered a
short cruise program from Texas.
“Based
on feedback we’ve received from our guests and valued travel agent
partners, we are pleased to be able to provide even more itinerary
choices from Galveston,” said
Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
“These new longer cruises on
Carnival Triumph visit a variety of beautiful destinations while
offering more time to enjoy the ship’s many fantastic and exciting
features. At the same time, the four- to six-day sailings
on Carnival Magic are the perfect choice for those looking for a
shorter cruise featuring all the wonderful innovations aboard our newest
class of ships,” he added.
Exciting 10- to 12-day Cruises Aboard Carnival Triumph
The newly scheduled voyages on Carnival Triumph include three exciting options:
·
An
11-day southern Caribbean voyage from Galveston to San Juan Feb. 9-20,
2015, calling at Grand Cayman, Aruba, Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica and

A
12-day Journey of Discovery cruise round-trip from Galveston March

the opportunity to take an optional excursion for an up-close view of
the wonders of the Panama Canal. The call at Santa Marta will mark

exciting seaside city.
The three voyages can be combined to create an unforgettable 33-day seagoing adventure visiting 15 ports across two continents.

pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina Mexican venue, the
poolside BlueIguana Tequila Bar and RedFrog Rum Bar, and more.
The
