The Story

Carnival Breeze joined the Carnival Cruise Line fleet in 2012 as one of the Dream-class ships, bringing 128,052 gross tons of fun to the high seas. With capacity for 4,428 passengers, this ship offers the signature Carnival experience with plenty of space for everyone to find their perfect vacation vibe.

Sailing primarily to the Caribbean from her homeport in Galveston, Texas, Carnival Breeze delivers the tropical escapes that ocean cruisers crave. The ship features the innovations that made the Dream class so popular, including diverse dining venues, entertainment options that keep every night exciting, and deck spaces designed for both relaxation and activity. Whether you're looking for poolside fun, evening shows, or quiet spots to watch the ocean roll by, this ship balances energy and comfort across her multiple decks.

Carnival Breeze appeals to families seeking memorable vacations together, couples looking for an affordable romantic getaway, and groups of friends ready to explore Caribbean ports. The Galveston departure point makes her particularly convenient for cruisers across Texas and the surrounding states who want to skip the flight and drive straight to their ship. With sailings starting at $333, she offers accessible ocean cruising without sacrificing the full-ship experience.
