For the first time since the pandemic, Carnival Cruise Line will sail year-round from Mobile.
The Carnival Valor will arrive at the Alabama port for year-round cruising on May 15, 2027. The Valor will be the first Conquest-class ship to homeport in Mobile and is an 856-passenger capacity increase from the Carnival Spirit, which currently sails from Mobile.
The Valor will sail mostly six- to eight-day itineraries to the Bahamas and Carnival's Caribbean private destinations: Celebration Key and RelaxAway Half Moon Cay.
The Carnival Fantasy homeported year-round in Mobile until 2020. Since then, Carnival has only sailed from the port seasonally. The Spirit will remain in Mobile seasonally until the Valor arrives.
