The Carnival Horizon is a vibrant, high-energy cruise ship that currently sails out of her primary homeport in Miami, Florida (with a planned transition to Galveston, Texas, in mid-2027). She whisks travelers away on sun-soaked 6-day Western Caribbean and 8-day Southern Caribbean itineraries, stopping at popular island destinations like Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, and Grand Cayman. Built for maximum entertainment, the Horizon boasts several unique onboard highlights, including the pedal-powered SkyRide suspended high above the deck for breathtaking ocean views; a massive Carnival WaterWorks park complete with thrilling waterslides; an at-sea IMAX Theater showing first-run Hollywood blockbusters; and the exclusive Havana Bar & Pool, a resort-style, Cuban-inspired retreat.
