Our goal is to make your cruise vacation a fun and memorable one. The first thing you need to do is get to your embarkation city, which for many of you means flying in to meet your ship. Carnival s Fly Aweigh program offers flight arrangements from most major U.S. and Canadian cities to our cruise departure cities. Working in conjunction with our airline partners, our flight selections ensure you arrive early enough for a seamless boarding experience. In the event flight schedules do not allow for an arrival on the day of your cruise, we will arrange to fly you in the day before. In these cases, we will arrange a hotel stay and transportation to get you to the hotel, and to the pier the next day. Let us take care of all the details, just sit back and start enjoying your vacation.

Program Benefits

Carnival's Fly Aweigh program takes care of your flight arrangements from the moment your trip begins until the moment it ends. Our travel professionals are committed to ensuring guests who purchase our air program meet their cruise, even when travel interruptions occur. This includes making alternate travel arrangements when necessary.

Our travel protection ensures each guest is accommodated on flights that will provide a timely arrival to the embarkation port or the next port of call when they experience delays resulting from weather conditions or other flight delays. In the event the available flights do not arrive in time for the ship s departure, guests will be flown to the next port of call and we will arrange hotel and/or ground transportation services at no expense. In other words, Carnival takes the worry out of air travel, to ensure our guests can enjoy a memorable vacation.
