Carnival Corp Celebrates America's 250th Anniversary with Historic Cruise

Carnival Corp's Holland America Line is offering a historic cruise to celebrate America's 250th anniversary in 2026. The 7-day "Stars & Stripes Voyage" will depart from Boston on July 4, 2026, and visit New York City, Norfolk, Virginia, and Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Guests will experience patriotic celebrations, historical sites, and special events like Boston's Fourth of July fireworks and the "Sail 4th 250" tall ships event. The cruise is expected to attract a niche market interested in American history and culture, potentially leading to increased bookings and higher revenue.
