Carnival Festivale

Carnival Festivale at a glance

Carnival Festivale is a Carnival Cruise Lines ship sailing the Caribbean year-round from Port Canaveral, Florida. Here are the essentials a traveller sizes her up by:

• Cruise line: Carnival Cruise Lines
• Home port: Port Canaveral, Florida, USA
• Region: Caribbean

Every sailing currently on sale from CruiseAway departs Port Canaveral and heads into the Caribbean, with itineraries of up to 10 nights. Because Port Canaveral is in the United States, Australian travellers will need flights to get there — something CruiseAway can arrange as part of a single, all-in booking.

Cabins on Carnival Festivale

Carnival Festivale carries four cabin grades across her 11 decks, ranging from a compact inside room to a full presidential suite — and there is a full cabins and deck plans page if you want to compare layouts before you book.

Inside cabins

The Inside cabin 4B measures 15 m² and sleeps up to four guests, making it one of the more practical choices for families or small groups travelling on a budget. Storage is well suited to a longer Caribbean voyage.

Ocean-view cabins

The Ocean-view cabin with sea view 6A brings in natural light and a full, unobstructed outlook through a large picture window — a step up from an inside room without the premium of a balcony.

Cove Balcony cabins

The Cove Balcony cabin 7C is a 19 m² room sleeping up to four that adds a private outdoor balcony — something neither the inside nor ocean-view grades offer. It sits lower on the ship, giving a closer-to-the-water feel that suits guests who want to hear the sea as much as see it.

Presidential Suite

At the top of the range, the Carnival Excel Presidential Suite SV with outdoor shower stretches to 45 m² — the largest suite on board. It features separate sleeping and living areas, an outdoor shower and an upper Pullman berth, accommodating two guests in generous style. For anyone wanting the full picture on layouts and availability, the Carnival Festivale cabins and deck plans page goes into full detail.

Why book Carnival Festivale with CruiseAway

Because Port Canaveral is in the United States, every Carnival Festivale sailing on our site involves flying to port. CruiseAway treats that as a feature rather than a complication: the cruise is the middle of a longer trip, and we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday through our DreamAway Packages. One booking, one point of contact.

Our Best Price Guarantee means you won't find the same cabin and fare cheaper through us than anywhere else. And if you want to talk through the options — which cabin grade suits your group, which itinerary length fits your time away, what fare inclusions make sense — our cruise experts are there to walk you through it.

If you'd like to explore more of what Carnival Cruise Lines offers, the full Carnival Cruise Lines search shows every sailing available in this market. There's also a Bring the Crew Sale with Carnival Cruise Line running for group-friendly trip lengths worth checking if you're travelling with a crowd.

Common questions about Carnival Festivale

Do I need to fly to join Carnival Festivale?

Yes. All current sailings depart from Port Canaveral, Florida, USA, so Australian travellers will need to fly to the United States before boarding. CruiseAway can arrange flights, pre- or post-cruise hotel nights and transfers as a single DreamAway Package booking — so you're not juggling separate reservations.

What is the largest cabin on Carnival Festivale?

The Carnival Excel Presidential Suite SV with outdoor shower is the largest suite on board at 45 m². It has a separate sleeping area, a living area, an outdoor shower and an upper Pullman berth. Full layout details are on the cabins and deck plans page.

How long are the Caribbean itineraries?

Current sailings on CruiseAway run up to 10 nights. If you want to filter by trip length, the Caribbean cruises 2026 and Caribbean cruises 2027 search pages both let you sort by duration.

Which cabin grade suits a family group?

Both the Inside cabin 4B and the Cove Balcony cabin 7C sleep up to four guests, so either works for a small family. The inside option is the more compact, budget-friendly choice; the cove balcony adds private outdoor space. Our cruise experts can help you weigh up the options for your specific group size and travel dates.

Are there other Carnival ships I could consider instead?

Carnival Luminosa is another ship in the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet, and you can see her available sailings on the Carnival Luminosa cruises 2026 page. The full Carnival Cruise Lines search shows every ship and departure currently on sale through CruiseAway.
