MIAMI - November 13, 2006 -- Carnival Cruise Lines' 2,758-passenger Carnival Triumph will operate a unique new four-port seven-day "Exotic Eastern Caribbean" itinerary from Miami beginning April 2007 that features a perfect combination of diverse and captivating ports of call.

Stops on the itinerary include Half Moon Cay, a stunning Bahamian private island; San Juan, Puerto Rico, known for its rich cultural heritage and fascinating historical sites; St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., whose postcard perfect beaches, gorgeous mountain terrain and endless shopping make it a venerable favorite; and Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Caribbean's newest port of call, offering world-renowned snorkeling, diving and beaches.

The program will operate seasonally, with cruises departing from Miami every other Sunday from April 21 through August 11, 2007.

"With the Carnival Triumph's new seven-day itinerary, we are offering four fantastic ports that together offer a unique Eastern Caribbean cruise experience that is only available on Carnival," said Bob Dickinson, president and CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines.

The Carnival Triumph features a wide variety of amenities, including a 15,000-square-foot spa, a jogging track, full casino gambling, and 18 themed lounges and bars with dramatic interiors inspired by the world's great cities. Dining options include twin two-level restaurants offering extensive menus and wine lists and a casual poolside eatery featuring 24-hour pizza and ice cream/frozen yogurt.

The ship also features cellular phone service, an Internet cafe, and wireless access in virtually all public rooms and areas.

Carnival Triumph offers a wide variety of spacious accommodations, including spectacular suites and a wide selection of staterooms offering dramatic ocean views from private balconies - ideal for scenic cruising. All accommodations feature the new "Carnival Comfort Bed" sleep system featuring plush mattresses, luxurious duvets, and high quality pillows and linens.

All Carnival ships feature the line's top-rated Camp Carnival children's program, as well as "Club O2," created in partnership with Coca-Cola, which offers specialized activities and facilities for teens.

It appears the above itinerary will extend beyond AUGUST 2007
