What's New for 2027?

The Carnival Hybrid only debuted in 2025, so it's still fairly new to the lineup. For 2027, the biggest update is that second-row captain's chairs are now available on EX and SX trims, not just the higher-end models.

The Dark Edition package also expands to EX this year, and the color lineup swaps out Flare Red for the new Iceberg Green.
