Carnival in Europe?

[Sherun]

Anyone know when Carnival will sail in Europe?

They have no plans to sail there in 2014 or 2015.

 

Maybe 2016 when the Vista debuts.

Hopefully the Vista will do a full Med season before coming over in 2016. I want to do a B2B on the last 12 day and then the TA.

What if the Carnival Vista doesn't sail the Med? The Carnival Vista is expected for [winter] early 2016. January and early February is not high season for Americans cruising the Mediterranean and Carnival had to pull out of Europe because Carnival's target demographic could not justify and/or afford a Transatlantic flight. They had to heavily discount their European sailings just to attempt to fill their ships, increase onboard revenue, as well as having guests supplement the crews' low salary with gratuities.

 

The Norwegian Breakaway's maiden voyage/Transatlantic did not have either a Mediterranean, British Isles or Baltic sailing prior and crossed the Atlantic to the United States in April, just as ships were heading to Europe.
