Carnival Cruise Lines is offering several new sailing round-trip from New York on its newest "Fun Ship," the 88,500-ton, 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend and the 102,000-ton, 2,758-passenger Carnival Victory. This will include unique eight-day sailings round-trip from New York on the Carnival Legend to the Caribbean. This will be the first time Carnival has operated round-trip Caribbean cruises from New York, which is a geographically convenient departure point for a huge percentage of the U.S. population, as well as one of the country's top tourist destinations.

The new itinerary, which will be offered from May 13 to October 12, 2003, is the only Caribbean cruise scheduled round-trip from New York and will include San Juan, St. Thomas/St. John, Tortola and Virgin Gorda. The unusual eight-day rotation creates a wide range of days of the week on which voyages will depart and return, providing maximum choice and flexibility for guests. It will also frequently place the Carnival Legend in Caribbean ports on less congested days, enhancing the shoreside experience.
