Carnival Cruise Line has canceled more than a dozen sailings scheduled to depart later this year.
“Due to changes in itinerary plans, we have canceled Carnival Florence sailings scheduled from October 12, 2026 to November 16, 2026,” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. A total of 11 cruise ships were affected.
Guests who booked on these itineraries and their travel advisors have been notified.
Carnival said in a statement that it “apologizes to affected guests, protects their cruise fares with comparable sailings in similar accommodations, and offers them the option to rebook another Carnival cruise with an onboard credit.” “Guests who choose not to reschedule will receive a full refund of their cruise fare and pre-purchased merchandise to their original payment method.”
Cruise cancellations are relatively rare, but do occur for reasons such as vessel charters or when a vessel needs to dry dock for refurbishment or maintenance. Norwegian Cruise Line, for example, eliminated sailings from its four ships for several months last year.
“While we strive to maintain the original itinerary as much as possible, changes may be made to optimize sailings in response to guest demand or changing port availability,” the company said in an emailed statement at the time.
