MIAMI (October 1, 2014) – Carnival Miracle will depart Saturday, Oct. 4
from Long Beach, Calif., on the first voyage
of a new year-round cruise program to the Mexican Riviera. The ship
will be the first to call at Cabo San Lucas on October 6 following
Hurricane Odile and will be loaded with relief supplies provided by
Carnival for local residents.
Carnival Miracle’s new year-round Mexican Riviera program will encompass three different week-long itineraries,
including a new three-port, seven-day cruise featuring Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.
During
the ship’s first visit to Cabo San Lucas, the crew will be off-loading
several pallets of bottled water, canned food, cereal, diapers, paper
products, personal items
and other supplies for local residents.
“We
have been in close contact with officials in Cabo San Lucas and have
sent our own teams there to evaluate the recovery process,” said Gerry
Cahill, president and CEO of
Carnival Cruise Lines. “The residents, along with local, state and
federal authorities, have worked extremely hard to ready the destination
to receive visitors and revitalize the economic contribution that
tourism brings to the area. At the same time, local
residents are still in need of relief supplies and it is extremely
gratifying to be resuming our Mexican Riviera cruise program while doing
some good for the local community,” Cahill added.
Carlos
Joaquin Gonzalez, federal under minister of tourism for Mexico, stated,
“Our tourism destinations are
ready to receive visitors. Tourism is an important part of the local
economy and we are grateful for everyone’s contribution to the recovery
of Los Cabos. The destination is ready for cruise passengers and the
majority of restaurants, shops and tours are
ready to be enjoyed.”
Carnival
Miracle’s year-round schedule from Long Beach also includes two other
itinerary options. The first is a seven-day, two-port itinerary that
features a stop in Cabo
San Lucas, along with a two-day overnight stay in Puerto Vallarta. The
second alternate itinerary includes a visit to Puerto Vallarta, along
with a two-day call at Cabo San Lucas.
