MIAMI — Carnival Cruise Line is giving travel advisors a front-row seat to its newest ship with a four-day experience built around Carnival Festivale’s inaugural in May 2027.

The cruise line is launching Partners at the Pier, a new event taking place May 16–19, 2027, in Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral, Florida. An extension of Carnival’s Funnel Faves program, the experience will bring advisors together with Carnival leadership for an exclusive first look at the ship, opportunities to explore the company’s destinations and direct connections with its sales team.

Advisors will take part in one-on-one sales sessions with Business Development Managers, network with Carnival executives and get an early look at Carnival Festivale’s features, including family-friendly attractions, a new dining lineup and the largest water park in the cruise line’s fleet.

“Travel advisors are essential to our success, and we’re committed to helping them continue to thrive,” said Janet Wygert, senior vice president of trade sales and marketing at Carnival Cruise Line. “Partners at the Pier brings that commitment to life, giving advisors firsthand experience, deeper connections with our team and knowledge to turn great experiences into more business.”

The $499 package includes three nights at the Hilton Cocoa Beach, an exclusive evening aboard Carnival Festivale to celebrate the ship’s inaugural, a first-look ship tour and a fireside chat with Wygert. Daily meals and beverages, round-trip transfers, parking and exclusive Funnel Faves gifts and inaugural mementos are also included.

Advisors can add round-trip airfare for $250, while guests may attend for an additional fee.

Travel advisors registered with Carnival who have made at least five bookings in the past two years are encouraged to apply.
