The Carnival Fantasy, a 2,056-passenger cruise ship based in New Orleans, will end its voyage in Mobile on Saturday as a result of the fuel oil spill earlier this week that closed the Mississippi River, Carnival announced today. The ship will also depart from Mobile on Saturday Carnival said.

The line stated that passengers will return to the Port of New Orleans or Louis Armstrong International Airport via bus. Buses will also transport departing passengers from the Port of New Orleans to Mobile to board the Fantasy.

The Fantasy, which operates four- and five-day cruises to Mexico is expected to return to the Port of New Orleans when the spill is cleaned up.
