Carnival Cruise Line Confirms Plans For July Restart 
 
MIAMI, June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line today confirmed its 
plans to return to guest operations from Port of Galveston on July 3 with 
Carnival Vista, followed by the return of operations on Carnival Breeze on July 
15. 
 
These cruises are available for guests who have received their final dose of a 
CDC-approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the 
cruise and have proof of vaccination, in accordance with current guidelines 
from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 
 
"We appreciate the progress and support for our U.S. restart from the CDC and 
other key federal agencies; however, the current CDC requirements for cruising 
with a guest base that is unvaccinated will make it very difficult to deliver 
the experience our guests expect, especially given the large number of families 
with younger children who sail with us.  As a result, our alternative is to 
operate our ships from the U.S. during the month of July with vaccinated 
guests," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. 
 
The other ship and port identified for a July restart is Carnival Horizon from 
PortMiami.  Carnival continues to work with both the State of Florida and the 
CDC for Carnival Horizon sailings and plans to provide an update by Friday 
concerning protocols specific to these sailings to all booked guests. 
 
Duffy also acknowledged the strong support of both Florida Governor Ron 
DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as well as other state officials, in 
making vaccinations available to cruise line personnel, which has expedited the 
restart process. She also said the support of local officials, especially 
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Galveston Mayor Craig Brown, and 
PortMiami and Port of Galveston leaders, has been instrumental in the restart 
efforts. 
 
Carnival also said it will be advising guests and travel advisors about its 
plans for August sailings over the coming days.
