110,000-ton
Carnival Glory to Operate
Atlantic Canada and Fall Foliage Cruises
MIAMI (Nov. 20, 2008) – Carnival Cruise
Lines will increase capacity on its seasonal
cruise program from
New
York in 2010 with the 2,978-passenger
Carnival Glory scheduled to operate a variety of
four and five-day
Atlantic Canada voyages from June to
September, followed by a series of five week-long
fall foliage cruises.
It marks the first time that
Carnival has deployed one of its largest
ships on the highly popular program. The
110,000-ton Carnival Glory features a wide variety
of exceptional facilities, amenities and stateroom
accommodation categories. Additionally, departing
from New York makes these cruises extremely
convenient and attractive for the huge population
base within
driving distance of Manhattan, as well as
for those in the larger eastern U.S. region who
can take a short-haul flight to one of the area’s
three major airports.
Four-day cruises departing Thursdays feature a
call at
Saint John, New Brunswick and scenic
cruising in the
Bay
of Fundy, while five-day cruises departing
on Mondays and Saturdays include stops at
Saint John and
Halifax, Nova Scotia. The program
commences with a four-day voyage departing June 6,
2010 (a one-time Sunday departure).
Week-long fall foliage itineraries beginning
Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, feature four different
ports of call, including Boston, Mass.,
Portland, Maine, Saint John and Halifax,
offering a variety of opportunities to view
stunning fall colors and explore these charming
coastal cities.
“These itineraries have proven exceptionally
popular among consumers seeking a summer or fall
getaway that combines the history and beauty of
these scenic ports with the excitement, value and
spirited fun of a Carnival vacation,” said Lynn
Torrent, Carnival’s
senior vice president of sales and guest
services. “By operating this program in 2010 on
one of our newest and largest ships, we anticipate
that both past guests and new cruisers alike will
be enticed by these refreshing itineraries coupled
with the huge array of facilities and amenities
offered on the Carnival Glory.”
The $500 million Carnival Glory features 22
lounges and bars, four
swimming pools, a 214-foot-long water
slide, a 14,500-square-foot health club, an
Internet café, jogging track and extensive
duty free shopping options. A
comprehensive golf program offering instruction
both aboard ship and during golf excursions is
also featured.
In addition to a 1,400-seat poolside
eatery with a 24-hour pizzeria, the ship includes
twin two-level formal restaurants and a
reservations-only
supper club offering U.S.D.A. prime
dry-aged beef and other gourmet cuisine.
Sixty percent of Carnival Glory’s 1,489
spacious staterooms offer either an ocean view or
private balcony. All staterooms feature the
“Carnival Comfort Bed” sleep system with plush
mattresses, luxurious duvets and
high quality pillows and linens.
Carnival Glory also offers expansive
facilities and complimentary activities for
children and teens, with its “Camp Carnival,”
“Circle C” and “Club O2” programs catering to
different age groups.
The cruise line is currently accepting
reservations for both its 2009 and 2010 departures
from New York (2009 voyages will operate on the
Carnival Triumph). For additional
