CARNIVAL FREEDOM RETURNS TO SERVICE WITH NEW LOOK – AND NEW FUNNEL

Heroes Military Tribute Bar Among Enhancements Added to Ship During Dry Dock in Cadiz, Spain

Once again sporting an iconic winged funnel, Carnival Freedom returns to service with a new look. The ship welcomed guests on board in Barcelona, Spain for a 14-day transatlantic voyage to its homeport of Port Canaveral, FL. Carnival Freedom underwent an extensive refurbishment that included the installation of the new funnel, the addition of the signature Carnival red, white and blue hull livery, and other enhancements.

Earlier this month, the 2,980-guest ship entered its 16-day dry dock at the Navantia shipyard in Cadiz, Spain. The ship’s vibrant transformation is a significant milestone for the shipyard. While the yard’s team members have worked on other projects across the fleet, this is the first time they have designed and manufactured a Carnival funnel.

Among the other enhancements is a newly installed Heroes Tribute Bar, which is an expanding venue across the Carnival fleet. It honors military veterans and active-duty service members. Carnival Freedom now also features a Dreams Studio, where guests can capture memories with the help of Carnival’s photography staff. Some of the other work includes an expansion to the ship’s casino, and renovations and upgrades across the ship’s staterooms and public areas.

Carnival Freedom Itineraries

Carnival Freedom’s two-week-long transatlantic Carnival Journeys cruise from Spain is offering guests an unforgettable journey that includes visits to Valencia, Malaga, and Las Palmas, Spain as well as Bermuda.

From Port Canaveral, the ship will offer four- and five-day sailings to destinations in The Bahamas, such as Nassau and Princess Cays, as well as other Caribbean destinations, including Grand Turk.

Many new itineraries were recently opened for the ship as well. These include sailings that feature Carnival’s upcoming exclusive destination, Celebration Key, as a port of call beginning in 2025.
