Despite its strong presence in North America, Carnival Cruise Line offers sailing all around the world. Sometimes, however, they offer unique itineraries, known as "Carnival Journeys," that explore destinations beyond the traditional ports of call in desintations like Europe, Asia, Hawaii, and more.
With both The Bahamas and Caribbean being year-round cruise destinations, it's incredibly easy to visit the same ports time and time again, including Celebration Key, Bahamas; Costa Maya, Mexico; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
However, frequent cruisers may itch for something new to differentiate their past Carnival cruises from future adventures. Enter "Carnival Journeys." These special itineraries offer a one-off chance to go beyond the usual cruise routes and last anywhere from 9 to 22 nights.
If you are willing to branch out and have a bit of flexibility in your schedule, you will find that Carnival Cruise Line's 2027 lineup is one of its most impressive to date and offers plenty of opportunities to discover new destinations.

Are repositioning cruises worth it?
Generally speaking, most of Carnival's one-off sailings are repositioning cruises. This means that the itinerary solely occurs for the purpose of moving a ship from one region to another, like Asia to North America, for a new season.
While they can offer excellent value and help cross off bucket list-worthy destinations if your schedule is flexible, they aren't necessarily for everyone.
For starters, repositioning cruises feature more sea days, fewer port stops, and one-way itineraries. This means you will need to book separate flights to and from different cities, rather than a round-trip itinerary.
On the flip side, these longer voyages are ideal for those who enjoy relaxing onboard and taking advantage of all the entertainment, dining, and activities that the ship offers.
Another downside to repositioning cruises is that they happen during the spring and fall shoulder seasons. As such, the sail dates may not line up with school breaks or popular vacation periods, like spring break or summer, making them less practical for certain travelers.
That said, it's not uncommon to find "too good to be true" deals on repositioning cruises. For example, Carnival Sunshine's 15-night transatlantic voyage in May 2027 starts at $892 per person for a standard interior stateroom. This breaks down to less than $60 per day!
