Carnival returning to Grand Bahama

Carnival Pride

Carnival Cruise Line will resume regular calls to Grand Bahama beginning Oct. 11, when the Carnival Pride will dock in Freeport.  

The Carnival Elation will follow on Oct. 13 and the Carnival Freedom on Oct. 15.

Carnival Pride departed Baltimore on Oct. 6 on a weeklong cruise with nearly 2,400 guests.  

Between now and the end of the year, Carnival expects to do 39 calls in Freeport, bringing more than 100,000 visitors.

Some 15 shore excursions will be offered, including The All-Inclusive Beach Club; A Select Retreat with Beach and Water Toys; and the VIP Luxury Sail.

Freeport has been recovering from Hurricane Dorian, which hit Grand Bahama on Sept. 1.
