Black Mall of America™ · Community · Commerce · Culture · Connection
Take the Black Mall experience to the Caribbean aboard Carnival Festivale. Explore diaspora destinations, build meaningful connections, support local culture, and create an unforgettable BMOA community voyage.
Three Strong 2027 Choices
We shortlisted three Carnival itineraries with strong Caribbean and African-diaspora potential. The July sailing is our recommended lead experience; final group space and pricing remain subject to availability.
More Than A Vacation
This is a BMOA-organized community travel experience—not a cruise sold exclusively to Black travelers. Our goal is to add culturally relevant programming, meaningful networking, and support for qualified local Black-owned guides and businesses where available.
Travel with Black entrepreneurs, families, Veterans, seniors, creators, and supporters of Black-owned commerce.
Highlight Caribbean history, food, music, and diaspora stories through responsible, locally grounded experiences.
Create opportunities to discover and support local Black-owned guides, makers, restaurants, and cultural businesses.
Build relationships through onboard meetups, learning sessions, celebrations, and BMOA community activities.
Build The Group
BMOA is gathering serious interest before requesting group inventory. Larger groups may unlock better coordination, dedicated support, and customized experiences. Veterans and seniors are encouraged to identify themselves so we can ask about applicable offers; discounts are not guaranteed.
Potential group-space threshold. Availability, deposits, and benefits depend on the cruise line's final group agreement.
A practical starting point for coordinated BMOA group support, communications, and shared onboard activities.
A stronger base for requesting customized cultural activities and coordinated local excursions, subject to operator availability.
