Carnival Cruise Line commemorates 20 years of fun from Baltimore by honouring first responders

Francis Scott Key Bridge Heroes Recognized by Carnival President, Local and State Leaders Aboard Carnival Prid
Commemorating 20 years of sailing from Baltimore, Carnival Cruise Line honored first responders who assisted with the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse during a celebratory event on board Carnival Pride on Sunday. Carnival President Christine Duffy welcomed aboard dignitaries and public officials that included Maryland Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld, Baltimore Deputy Mayor J.D. Merrill and Executive Director of the Maryland Port Administration Jonathan Daniels and representatives from the U.S. Naval Academy.
Duffy thanked local leaders for their longstanding partnership and noted the recent return to cruising from the port after the Key Bridge collapse. She recognized several Maryland Transportation Authority Police first responders who were in attendance for their heroic response to the tragedy.
Carnival Pride was recently enhanced during a 2023 dry dock and offers a variety of itineraries from Baltimore including trips to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal. In 2025, the ship will also include visits to Carnival’s newest exclusive destination in The Bahamas, Celebration Key.
