From June to October, Carnival Pride also runs 9 seven-night Bermuda trips, and in the fall it makes one 12-night and one 14-night Southern Caribbean voyage. Carnival Miracle arrives for three Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean sailings in November and December.

Between August and October, Vision of the Seas also sails 4 nine-night Canada & New England cruises to Boston, Portland, Saint John and Halifax.

| Destination | 2027 sailings | Cruise lines (sailings) | Typical length | Months sailed |

Like Philadelphia, Baltimore is a drive-to port for the Mid-Atlantic, and the itineraries reflect it: every Bahamas, Bermuda and Canada sailing is a round trip, so there is no flight at either end. Baltimore's Canada & New England sailings visit the same coastline covered in our fall foliage guide, and its Bermuda trips compete with departures from New York City.
When to Cruise from Baltimore: 2027 Season by Month

From November to April, Carnival Cruise Line is the only tracked line in Baltimore, sailing roughly weekly to the Bahamas. Bermuda is a summer and early-fall route on both lines, and the Canada & New England sailings fall between August and October, when fall color typically peaks further north. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November, so check your cruise line's itinerary-change policy for Bahamas and Bermuda sailings in those months.
How to Choose a Baltimore Cruise Line
The two lines' 2027 Baltimore programs answer different questions, based on CabinSaver's itinerary tracking:
- Carnival Cruise Line suits a full-week Bahamas trip in any month. Carnival Pride sails 7-night round trips all year, and most of them call at both Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay.
- Royal Caribbean suits a short Bermuda trip or a Canada & New England cruise in summer and fall. Vision of the Seas' 5-night Bermuda sailings are the shortest trips from Baltimore, and its 9-night itineraries reach Halifax and Saint John.
For Bermuda in summer, both lines sail, so compare dates side by side. For winter, Carnival is the only choice from Baltimore.
Planning Tips
- Plan for parking or a short transfer. Baltimore's cruise terminal is typically about 15 minutes by car from downtown and about 20-30 minutes from Baltimore/Washington International Airport, depending on traffic. Check your cruise line's parking guidance and verify the terminal location before you leave home.
- Allow for the river. Ships leave Baltimore along the Patapsco River and the Chesapeake Bay, so the first day is typically spent reaching open ocean. That is why a 7-night Bahamas trip from Baltimore typically has more sea days than a similar trip from Florida.
- Pick Bermuda dates early. Bermuda sailings from Baltimore run only between May and October on both lines, so the choice of dates is narrower than for the Bahamas.
- Check documentation. Closed-loop round trips from Baltimore may allow U.S. citizens to sail with other accepted proof of citizenship, but a valid passport book is typically recommended, and the one-way repositioning sailing generally requires one. Requirements vary by itinerary and citizenship, so always verify with your cruise line and official government sources before your trip.
- Watch specific sailings. With only 75 Baltimore departures in 2027, deal alerts on the dates you want are more useful than waiting for a general sale.
