The ship will leave Europe for New York one June 11 with a 13-day transatlantic crossing from Barcelona. Carnival Radiance’s New York program will include four- and six-day Bermuda cruises, a four-day trip to Saint John, New Brunswick, eight-day eastern Caribbean sailings and nine-day voyages to Cuba, featuring a full day and overnight stay in Havana. The ship will finish its time in New York with a series of Canada and New England cruises.

Next, Carnival Radiance will move to Norfolk, where it will spend time during October and November 2020 making the line’s first Cuba cruises from that port, as well as a couple of other cruises to the Bahamas and other popular destinations. Starting November 8, the ship will spend its winter season sailing out of Port Canaveral. Here it will offer six- to eight-day trips to the Caribbean and Cuba with stops in Havana, the Bahamas, Grand Turk, the Dominican Republic, Aruba, St. Kitts and more.
