Carnival’s Carnival Fascination cruise ship is adding new Caribbean cruises out of its homeport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

In 2021, the ship will add three new seven-day Caribbean cruises out of San Juan, each of which will include stops at five different Caribbean destinations. 

The new cruises will include stops at Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Tortola, St Thomas, Barbados and St Maarten. 

Carnival Fascination has 13 scheduled departures from San Juan from May through December 2021. 

It will be the only Carnival Cruise Line ship to visit most of these Caribbean ports. 

The ship underwent a major renovation in 2017 that added most of the brand’s newest dining concepts, from Guy Fieri’s Burger Joint to the new Alchemy Bar.
