NORFOLK, Va. — Thousands of people are swapping cold sleet and snow for the tropics, as Carnival Cruise Line launched its debut year-round cruise in the Mermaid City. Carnival Cruise executives and Norfolk Mayor Kenny Alexander cut the ribbon in what they called a historic day for the city. It is the first year-round cruise to launch in Virginia.

Carnival Cruise Line celebrated the start of year-round sailing from Norfolk on Tuesday following the completion of the $12 million in downtown terminal enhancements.

The Carnival Sunshine is also coming to Norfolk fresh from renovations of its own, having undergone a facelift in Europe. Carnival is set to sail about 150,000 guests annually from Norfolk, the highest volume in the port’s history, according to a press release from Cruise Norfolk.
