The Carnival Jubilee is now offering new itineraries to the Bahamas from its homeport in Galveston, Texas.

After nearly three years sailing exclusively to the Western Caribbean, the Carnival Cruise Line ship offered its first itinerary to Bahamas in late September.

In addition to a visit to Nassau, the eight-night cruise marked Jubilee’s debut in two of the company’s private island destinations in the region: Celebration Key and RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.

In addition to visits to the three destinations, the itinerary also includes three days at sea and will be offered regularly between now and 2028.

The Carnival Jubilee was built at the Meyer Werft shipyard and debuted in late 2023 as the third ship in Carnival Cruise Line’s Excel class.

Designed to serve the Texan market, the LNG-powered vessel has been sailing year-round from Galveston since its maiden season.

For the past three years, the ship offered a series of seven-night cruises to the Western Caribbean that included visits to destinations in Mexico and Honduras.

In addition to Cozumel and Costa Maya, Jubilee’s itineraries included regular calls at Mahogany Bay, a private destination part of the Paradise Collection by Carnival.

Renamed Isla Tropicale earlier this year, the port is located on the island of Roatán in Honduras’ Bay Islands Department.

As part of its new deployment, the 5,400-passenger ship is also scheduled to continue to sail to the Western Caribbean, offering six-night cruises to Mexico and Honduras.

The itineraries will be offered in between the sailings to the Bahamas and feature visits to Cozumel and Isla Tropicale.

In addition to the Jubilee, the Carnival Dream and the Carnival Breeze are currently sailing from Galveston.

Carnival is adding a fourth ship to its lineup in Texas later this year, with the Carnival Miracle operating a seasonal cruise program from Galveston in 2026-27.
