The Vision of the Seas and the Carnival Pride sailed to Baltimore, marking the return of cruise ships to the port after a two-month hiatus caused by the closure of the main navigation channel due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Royal Caribbean International’s Vision of the Seas was the first ship to return to Baltimore on May 25, 2024, following a three-week drydock, and set sail on a five-night cruise to Bermuda, including an overnight visit to King’s Wharf.
Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Pride followed suit on May 26, 2024, becoming the second ship to resume homeporting from Baltimore after a seven-night cruise to the Bahamas from Norfolk.
Both vessels are now set to continue their year-round programs out of Baltimore, with the Vision of the Seas and the Carnival Pride offering various cruises and itineraries, including to destinations such as Greenland, Canada, Bermuda, and the Bahamas.
