While homeporting in Europe, the Carnival Legend will sail nine cruises from Dover, with varied nine- to 12-night itineraries in Northern Europe.
The schedule also includes six cruises from Civitavecchia (Rome) with either nine- or 12-night itineraries in the Mediterranean.
From Dover, the cruises showcase destinations such as Copenhagen, Denmark, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The 2002-built ship will also cruise to the British Isles, with stops in ports across Ireland, England and Scotland, in addition to one cruise with four stops in Iceland.
Scandinavia and Baltic cruises offer visits to Germany, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Belgium, while Western Europe ports include those in Portugal, Spain and France.
