Carnival Sunshine

The Carnival Sunshine, which sails primarily out of its homeport in Norfolk, Virginia, offers a diverse array of exciting itineraries that whisk passengers away to sun-drenched destinations like the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Eastern Caribbean, and even scenic autumn routes to Canada. Originally built as Carnival Destiny in 1996, the ship is packed with signature highlights designed for every type of traveler. Thrill-seekers can hit the sprawling WaterWorks aqua park to race down the Speedway Splash or conquer the suspended, two-level SkyCourse ropes course high above the ocean. Meanwhile, those looking to unwind can escape to the massive, three-deck Serenity Adult-Only Retreat—complete with plush loungers and a cascading waterfall—or grab a custom-crafted cocktail at the vintage-themed Alchemy Bar before catching a comedy show.
