Starting on May 18, 2010, Carnival will be featuring the 2,056-passenger Carnival Fantasy with 5-, six- and seven-day voyages to The Bahamas and Key West, Florida. Up until this point in time, Carnival has featured seasonal cruises from Charleston, including two upcoming voyages each  on Carnival Triumph and Carnival Glory next year."Charleston is an extraordinary city within easy reach of millions of U.S. residents who will now have convenient access to Carnival's fantastic and affordable cruise vacation options year-round," said Gerry Cahill, Carnival's president and CEO. "Our past experience with the Port of Charleston, which has a very efficient and conveniently located cruise terminal, has been outstanding." "Carnival and this vessel fit perfectly with the internationally acclaimed Charleston tourism market, which draws cruise passengers from across the Southeast and beyond," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina State Ports Authority. "We have enjoyed a successful, long-standing relationship with Carnival, and we are very pleased to significantly expand that relationship with a year-round calendar. This commitment by Carnival underscores Charleston's cruise development potential." Reservations for these cruises from Charleston aboard Carnival Fantasy are available as of today.
