Carnival legendCarnival Freedom: The exciting new Carnival Freedom represents the Conquest class of Fun Ships. The ship’s revolutionary design means that 80 percent of the staterooms offer glorious ocean views; and of those, 80 percent have private balconies.

Wake up to a sunny new day with an energizing workout in the state-of-the-art gym. Or go for an invigorating run on the outdoor jogging track. Ask the ship’s personal trainers to plan an exercise program for you. Or skip the workout and hit the deck. With acres of teak deck space, you’ll find the ideal spot to enjoy the fresh sea air and soothing sunshine. You can also relax in the spa with a massage, steam, or beauty treatment. And kids are sure to love the fun atmosphere of the award-winning Camp Carnival program.

After a full day of fun, enjoy an elegant meal in one of the main dining rooms or relax with a casual dinner in one of the many options onboard. You many even want to celebrate a special night out in the intimate supper club


Shore Excursions: We offer great excursions for a reasonable price!

tulumTulum Ruins: Take an exciting speedboat ride down the New River to get to the amazing Maya ruins of Lamanai. These ruins date back to the Book of Mormon time period. Climb the huge temples, search for howler monkeys or just enjoy the beautiful jungle setting ($105 – $5 Cash Discount).

 

Panama Canal: This ship does not go through the canal. Upon arrival in Colon, Panama, we will take a tour of the countryside on our way to a ferry in which we will pass through the Panama Canals. This is a great way to see the locks of the canals. By passing through the locks in smaller ferries, we will be able to better see how they work. This is a scenic, memorable experience. (Price $TBA).

Costa Rica:


All Shore Excursions are optional and may be purchased separate from the cruise rate.
