Rare MistyRo76 Posted April 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I am anxiously awaiting 2026 cruise dates to be available....any guesses as to when they will be released? It seems like the first half of 2025 has been out for a while now. I turn the big 5-0 in April, 2026 and want to plan a big cruise with all my family and friends! Hoping to finally get on one of the newer ships (MG/Celebration/Jubilee). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted April 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2023 It will be late 2023 before you see anything for 2026. There's still some ships for which late 2024 and early 2025 have not been released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted April 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2023 You will see until April 2026 start rolling out late this year. They start releasing new dates in October and November and keep going until they are finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSGDRG Posted June 2 #7 Share Posted June 2 I am also waiting for Fall 2026 cruises to Hawaii, French Polynesia and New Zealand. I hope that they are released soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted June 3 #8 Share Posted June 3 Carnival generally starts releasing new dates around October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted June 3 #9 Share Posted June 3 Pure guess on my part but I think they'll try to release 2026 at the earliest opportunity. They know bookings for 2025 are super strong so will want available inventory as soon as they can deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of my friends all turn 50 in 2026, so this is our big birthday celebration! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delurking...been on hiatus for a while from this board... I recently checked the last round of Carnival Cruise Line press releases in 2023 announcing the "next round" of itineraries (for 2025/early 2026) to be released - it was in August through November, spread across departure ports, cruise length, and other factors, IIRC. So expect some initial announcements in August this year. e.g. here are a select handful (there were more): first one last year, Aug 17: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-cruise-line-begins-opening-2025-26-deployment-new and then this bunch, Aug 24: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-cruise-line-opens-itineraries-featuring-celebration Europe and more, Oct 17: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-cruise-line-opens-new-sailings-europe-and-additional "More" west coast, Nov 8: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-cruise-line-opens-more-2025-26-west-coast-sailings And finally the Aussie sailings, Nov 14: https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-cruise-line-opens-2025-26-australia-cruises 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for welcome back. We're probably not cruising until late 2026 (we have other travel plan itches to scratch in the meantime), so this topic interests me. Other than that, I see the board has the usual back and forth over the usual topics, so I'll probably continue to lurk for a while, lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life does get in the way of cruising from time to time. We are doing a large group in 27, atking all our kids and grand kids on a med (I think) cruise, so w will be waiting a while longer.

Yep, just saw the announcement. Carnival doing those "solar eclipse" cruises - cool! Edited August 20 by ProgRockCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted August 20 #19 Share Posted August 20 My mom and I were just talking about how we would be booking in Oct/Nov probably when they released Europe. Just booked right now. Can't believe it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 21 #20 Share Posted August 21 We booked the Solar Eclipse cruise. I was somewhat disappointed not to see any summer med offerings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
