Carnival Conquest departed Miami on January 5, inaugurating a series of adults-only SEA (Sailings Exclusively for Adults) cruises targeting casino enthusiasts across Saint Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, St Maarten, and St Thomas.
Launched with over twenty-seven hundred passengers, the twelve-day Southern and Eastern Caribbean itinerary offers expanded gaming, themed parties, and bingo, exclusively for twenty-one plus via Carnival Players Club invitations. This niche tourism product transforms Carnival‘s family image, capturing mature travellers seeking child-free Caribbean escapes with high-stakes entertainment.
The maiden SEA cruise explores Saint Lucia’s Pitons, Barbados beaches, Martinique rum distilleries, St Maarten duty-free shops, and St Thomas snorkeling, blending port adventures with onboard casino action. Expanded blackjack tables and seventy-five slot machines on the Promenade deck cater to high-rollers, while adults-only pool parties enhance tourism romance. The Southern Caribbean focus diversifies Miami departures, boosting lesser-visited ports amid Oasis-class competition.
Carnival Conquest will follow with a thirteen-night SEA voyage from Miami on January 17, revisiting St Thomas and Saint Lucia while adding Bonaire marine parks and Aruba Eagle Beach for gambling tourism enthusiasts.
The longer itinerary allows deeper island immersion, from Barbados catamaran sails to Aruba casino hopping ashore.
The Saint Lucia port calls will feature Pitons hikes, sulphur springs, and zip-lining, complementing onboard bingo wins for active adult adventurers. Dual SEA visits maximise island partnerships, boosting tourism revenue from catamaran tours.
Barbados beaches and rum tours aim to pair seamlessly with Carnival Conquest’s casino vibe, where winners celebrate at Cricket World Cup grounds or Harrison’s Cave.
