Carnival Miracle just kicked off Carnival Cruise Line’s summer sailing series in Europe after completing an extensive dry dock in Cadiz, Spain.

The ship welcomed its first guests upon its return to service from Lisbon, Portugal.

The guests who embarked on the ship this weekend are the first to see a series of enhancements, from the addition of new venues, including the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, to re-imagined public spaces, such as Cloud 9 Spa.

Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge serves as a gathering place celebrating the many active-duty military and veterans that sail with Carnival.

With this new venue on Carnival Miracle, Heroes Tribute is now featured on 15 Carnival ships. The ship also received an all-new Carnival Adventures store, giving guests an updated space to plan and book experiences ashore.

The ship’s mini-golf area and nightclub were remodeled with new layouts and designs to enhance the guest experience for cruisers of all ages and interests. The casino was also expanded.

The Camp Ocean youth area and teens club were revamped with a bright, refreshed design and new enhancements.

A dedicated Chef’s Table venue was also added on the deck one, creating a new space for Carnival’s signature culinary experience.

Several other public spaces, including Cloud9 SpaSerenity adult-only retreat, Club 02, Java Blue coffee shop and Lido marketplace, were refreshed.

Carnival Miracle guests sailing from Lisbon will enjoy a seven-day itinerary with visits to La Coruña and Bilbao, Spain; and Le Verdon (Bordeaux) and Le Havre (Paris), France.

The ship will arrive in Dover (London), England, where it will begin a series of nine- and 12-day cruises to bucket-list destinations across the British Isles, Scandinavia, the Baltic and Northern Europe.

Later this summer, Carnival Miracle will reposition to Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy, for cruises that include visits to other ports in Italy as well as France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.
