Following a multi-week dry dock in Cadiz, Spain, the Carnival Miracle refurbishment has given the popular vessel a fresh new look and feel just in time for its European summer season. The ship welcomed guests aboard in Lisbon, Portugal, debuting a variety of enhancements that elevate both comfort and entertainment onboard.
New Enhancements, Same Legendary Spirit
One of the standout additions from the Carnival Miracle refurbishment is the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, a meaningful venue honoring military service members, now featured on several Carnival ships. Guests will also notice a redesigned nightclub, an expanded casino, and a refreshed mini-golf course – all aimed at creating more dynamic onboard experiences.
Younger cruisers benefit from reimagined youth areas, including a vibrant new Camp Ocean and a modernized teen club. A dedicated Chef’s Table venue has been introduced for intimate, high-end dining, while the new Carnival Adventures store makes it easier than ever to book shore excursions. Throughout the ship, key spaces like the Cloud 9 Spa, Java Blue Café, and Serenity retreat have all been updated with new design elements.
Expanded Itineraries Across Europe
With the Carnival Miracle refurbishment now complete, the ship is sailing a variety of European itineraries starting with a seven-day voyage from Lisbon to ports in Spain and France. From Dover, England, it will embark on longer cruises through the British Isles, Scandinavia, and the Baltics.
Later this summer, the ship will reposition to Civitavecchia (Rome) for Mediterranean sailings. The thoughtful upgrades made during the Carnival Miracle refurbishment ensure a more refined, enjoyable journey as the vessel continues its adventures across Europe – and later, the Caribbean from its new homeport in Tampa.
