“At Carnival, our three-ship deployment continues to serve up the perfect blend of the Alaskan landscape’s breathtaking natural beauty and our signature Carnival fun. Cruising is truly the best way to see Alaska, which is why these itineraries remain extremely popular each year – and all-the-more reason why travelers plan Alaska cruises far in advance,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival Luminosa
On April 6, 2027, Carnival Luminosa will reposition to San Francisco with an extraordinary 23-day Transpacific Journeys voyage departing Sydney, featuring stops in Suva (Fiji), Moorea, Papeete (French Polynesia), and Honolulu. This ocean crossing provides guests with an opportunity to experience multiple cultures across the Pacific, from the tropical paradise of Fiji to the volcanic beauty of French Polynesia, all while enjoying extended sea days perfect for relaxation and onboard entertainment.
Beginning May 3, 2027, the 2,800-guest Carnival Luminosa will sail 10-day cruises visiting Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. The ship will also sail several Baja Mexico cruises from San Francisco, including nine four-day extended-weekend sailings to Ensenada departing on Thursday and returning on Monday. These cruises expand the variety of Carnival’s offering on the west coast giving guests sailing from San Francisco the option of a shorter getaway that showcases the beauty of Mexico's Pacific coast.
Carnival Legend
A noteworthy addition to the Carnival Journeys program, Carnival Legend will reposition from Tampa to Seattle with a 16-day Panama Canal voyage that will mark the cruise line’s first visit to Acapulco, Mexico since 2010. This return to the legendary Pacific destination represents a significant milestone, reconnecting Carnival and its guests with one of Mexico's most famous coastal cities known for its dramatic cliffs, golden beaches and vibrant culture. The 16-day cruise departs April 4, 2027, and also features stops in Cartagena and Santa Marta, Colombia, along with Cabo San Lucas, Mexico as well as a full transit of the Panama Canal.
Beginning April 20, 2027, the 2,700-guest Carnival Legend will be homeported in Seattle for an extensive Alaska season offering 22 week-long voyages, visiting Alaska’s most popular ports, including Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Victoria, British Columbia. On Sept. 21, 2027, the ship will sail a 16-day Journeys Hawaii cruise from Seattle visiting Honolulu; Hilo; Nawiliwili; Kahului; Victoria, BC, Canada.
