Carnival Jubilee set to launch in 2023

Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Carnival Cruise Line has announced that its third Excel-class ship is to be named Carnival Jubilee and will be delivered in 2023 and based in Galveston, Texas.

The announcement was made the same day that the line confirmed that all 22 of its United States-based ships will be back in guest operations by March.

Nineteen ships had been confirmed by February, and now Carnival Sensation will restart from Mobile, Alabama, from March 5, Carnival Ecstasy will restart from Jacksonville, Florida, from March 7, and Carnival Paradise will restart from Tampa from March 12.

Carnival Jubilee will be the third in the Excel-class for Carnival, joining sisters Mardi Gras, sailing from Port Canaveral since earlier this year, and Carnival Celebration, which will be delivered in late 2022 and based in Miami. She will arrive at 182,800 gross tons, with a capacity of more than 5,400 guests and 1,700 crew.

Christine Duffy, President, Carnival Cruise Line said in a statement that Carnival was the first cruise line to offer year-round cruising from Galveston in 2000, and have continued to grow its presence and support of the Port of Galveston’s expansion, so the company is thrilled to bring the brand-new Carnival Jubilee to Texas and the greater southwest region.
