Carnival cruise ship diverted from Baltimore to Norfolk because of Key Bridge collapse

(Baltimore, MD) -- The Carnival Legend cruise ship will not be able to reach Baltimore's Cruise ship terminal due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The ship was scheduled to return on Sunday, but instead it will dock in Norfolk, Virginia, and provide guests with free bus service to Baltimore.

“Our thoughts remain with the impacted families and first responders in Baltimore,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “We appreciate the pledge made by President Biden today to dedicate all available resources to reopen Baltimore Harbor to marine traffic as soon as possible. As those plans are finalized, we will update our future cruise guests on when we will return home to Baltimore, but in the meantime, we appreciate the quick response and support from officials in Norfolk.”
