Carnival Dream is back on the water after renovations.

After completing a 16-day dry dock in Marseille, Carnival Dream is heading back to Galveston, part of Carnival Cruise Line’s four‑ship lineup at the Texas homeport.

Highlights include a new Dreams Studio, where guests can capture professional photos, and a new Carnival Adventures Store for booking shore excursions. The ship also features refreshed retail areas such as Effy Jewelry and a modernized casino with a dedicated host station.

Carnival Dream is sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from Barcelona, with scheduled calls at Alicante, Málaga and Gibraltar before arriving in Galveston on April 5.

Once back in Galveston, Carnival Dream will rejoin Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Legend. The vessel will resume its schedule of short cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, featuring calls to Celebration Key.
