About the Carnival Cruise Line Carnival Jubilee

If you're the party planner for your family or friends, folks like you deserve everybody's appreciation. And we've got great news: you're going to find that our next new ship is a party at sea that has something for absolutely everybody.

Carnival Jubilee will be kicking things off in 2023, sailing from Galveston.

The ship's name is, of course, a nod to the original MS Jubilee, which brought fun to fans way back in the day. But for the people who continue to make the fun happen today, here's a little of what you can expect when you, and your whole bunch, join us for this new party that will be ongoing for years to come.

The next ship in line after Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration has some big flip-flops to fill, so you can count on Carnival Jubilee to deliver with six "zones" of fun. Zones are areas themed to transform your vacation into a unique mix of experiences - hop from zone to zone throughout your day to make the fun your own. And the ingredients you'll find - Carnival classics like Cucina del Capitano®, Seuss at Sea, Playlist Productions; and newer favorites like BOLT, RedFrog® Tiki Bar Family Feud Live - will join brand-new onboard fun spots we'll be announcing just as soon as we start building 'em all.

Fun like this calls for big vacation plans, and we'll bet your crew will be glad you made it Carnival Jubilee.

Ports of Call

Galveston (Days 1, 8)

Founded in 1836 and located in the Gulf of Mexico, historic Galveston is a semi-tropical barrier island. Only 39 miles long and 2.5 miles wide, it lies 50 miles southwest of Houston. Long known for its miles of sandy beaches and Gulf seafood, today Galveston is also recognized for its treasure trove of Victorian architecture and one of the most vigorous historic preservation programs in the country.
Attractions & Activities
Galveston Island Ferry, located on Hwy 87 (Ferry Road), continues to be one of Galveston's most popular attractions. Ferries run approximately every fifteen to twenty minutes and are free. The Great Storm, a multimedia presentation at the Pier 21 Theater, gives visitors a glimpse of the devastating 1900 Storm through a multi-image documentary experience. The 27-minute story gives actual accounts from diaries and letters of survivors during and after the storm. One of Galveston's most popular attractions is Moody Gardens, One Hope Boulevard. Work or play, this tropical destination is ideal for families and groups alike. Water your imagination and travel the oceans of the world at the Aquarium Pyramid. Step into the Rainforest Pyramid with thousands of tropical plants, exotic fish and birds. Explore the mysteries of science at the Discovery Pyramid, and take a rocking and rolling ride through the universe at the Ridefilm Theater. Get in the middle of the action at the 4D Special FX Theater. See spectacular images leap from the screen of the six-story IMAX 3D Theater and visit beautiful Palm Beach (seasonal) and the newly expanded Moody Gardens Hotel.

Mahogany Bay (Day 4)

Mahogany Bay/Roatan Island is the jewel of Honduras. The biggest and most populated of three islands, located off the coast of Honduras is well known for its various crystal clear beaches, blue skies and warm sun. The island is only 33 miles long and 4 miles wide. A paved road crosses the island on 75% of its length. This main road is the one that takes to all the different destinations on the island and the scenery is just breathtaking. It was the home of the Paya Indians in 1502, when Christopher Columbus arrived and discovered this region. Unclaimed for many years, the island became a haven to many famous French, English and Dutch pirates. Leaving their everlasting footprint on the history of island, you can still hear some of the names of the most recognizable, for example: Henry Morgan and Captain John Coxen. It was estimated that over 5,000 pirates lived and ruled on the island of Roatan for many many years.

Costa Maya (Day 5)

Beginning where the Mayan Riviera ends, the Costa Maya stretches along the coastline up to Belize. The Costa Maya is the last remaining section of coastal properties yet to be exploited and there are acres of coastal land with absolutely no development. The odd fishing village spots the landscape but not much beyond that. Flying along the coastline you encounter numerous cenotes and you can still see the outlines and impressions of villages that were there centuries ago.

Attractions & Activities

Experience the ancient Mayan City of Chacchoben. Largely unexplored until 1999, this Mayan site dates back to 360 A.D. when it played an important role in the distribution of such precious items as wood, jade and exotic birds.


Cozumel (Day 6)

The crystal clear water surrounding Cozumel makes it a favorite for divers and sun-seekers from around the world. Found on the Yucatan peninsula, it is the largest of Mexico's islands and steeped in history, tracing Mayan descendants from 300 A.D. In town, there is shopping for local crafts and dining in colorful restaurants.
Attractions & Activities
Don't miss the opportunity to explore the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Tulúm, majestically perched above the turquoise Caribbean. The site was occupied as far back as 600 A.D. However, it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D. You will be struck by the pyramid-shaped El Castillo, which dominates the city from atop a forty-foot cliff. The nearby Temple of the Descending God provides equally excellent insight into the architecture of the Mayan people, who gained considerable achievements in the arts and sciences, only to decline and vanish for no apparent reason.
