About the voyage
One legendary cruise. Endless memories.
The Alumni Cruise brings together graduates from every school, every era, and every walk of life aboard the Carnival Dream for five days of celebration on the open sea. Departing from New Orleans, reconnect with classmates, make new lifelong friends, and create the kind of memories you'll be telling stories about for years.
Live music, themed nights, gourmet dining, sunlit pool decks, and tropical port calls in Cozumel and Progreso — this is more than a vacation. It's a reunion of legends.
