Carnival Legend will offer a new eight-day schedule from Fort Lauderdale that marks the first time St. Kitts and St. Lucia have been featured on a Carnival itinerary in more than 10 years. The program, which starts in late January, also includes St. Maarten.

Carnival president and ceo Bob Dickinson stressed the diversity of ports in the new itinerary, as well as the fact that the eight-day rotation will place Carnival Legend in port on less congested days.

The schedule is part of the 88,500gt ship’s seasonal eight-day schedule from Fort Lauderdale, which includes Western and Southern routes. Eight-day Western Caribbean cruises include Colón, Panama; Limón, Costa Rica; and Belize City.

Carnival Legend’s eight-day program will operate from late October to early April and from late October 2007 to early April 2008. From October through December this year, the ship will continue to offer its original eight-day Southern Caribbean cruises to St. Maarten, Barbados and Martinique.

Prior to and following the Fort Lauderdale deployment, Carnival Legend will operate a program of eight-day Caribbean cruises roundtrip from New York.
