Carnival cruise ship to return to Boston in 2013
April 28, 2012

Industry giant Carnival announced that it would operate another extended schedule of summer cruises out of Boston in 2013, something it is doing for the first time this year.

The line says it once again will deploy the 2,974-passenger Carnival Glory to the city for a series of four- and five-night sailings to Canada starting in early June with departures through early July. The four-night voyages will include a stop in Saint John, New Brunswick, and the five-night trips will stop at Saint John and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Carnival Glory also will sail three seven-night cruises out of Boston in 2013 that include stops in Portland, Maine; Saint John; Halifax; and Sydney, Nova Scotia. Departure dates are June 9, July 14 and July 21.

Carnival has offered a handful of cruises out of Boston in the past but until this year never an extended season of voyages. The Carnival Glory begins its first deployment in Boston in early June, sailing from the recently refurbished Black Falcon Cruise Terminal.

Christened in 2003, the eight-year-old Carnival Glory is scheduled to receive a major overhaul in November that will bring new eateries, bars and entertainment spaces including a Guy Fieri-branded hamburger outlet and a George Lopez-branded comedy club.

The improvements, part of a fleetwide overhaul at Carnival announced last year that the line has dubbed FunShip 2.0, also will include a Mexican cantina called BlueIguana, the pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, an EA Sports-branded sports bar and more.
