A New Era for Alaska Exploration
Carnival Cruise Line is setting the stage for an extraordinary season with the announcement of its 2027 Alaska Voyages. Three ships – Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend, and Carnival Luminosa – will deliver a diverse array of itineraries that showcase the breathtaking wilderness, vibrant port cities, and unforgettable experiences the region is known for. These sailings are carefully curated to blend the natural wonder of Alaska with the playful spirit and lively atmosphere Carnival guests expect, promising summer adventures and repositioning cruises in the spring and fall that go beyond the ordinary.
West Coast Adventures and Pacific Crossings
Carnival Luminosa leads the way with a remarkable repositioning cruise, embarking on a 23-day transpacific journey from Sydney to San Francisco in April 2027. This rare voyage allows guests to explore an eclectic mix of destinations across the Pacific, including Fiji, French Polynesia, and Hawaii. Following her arrival on the U.S. West Coast, Carnival Luminosa will offer 10-day Alaska cruises visiting iconic destinations such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, and Prince Rupert. For travelers looking for a shorter escape, the ship will also operate several four-day extended weekend sailings to Ensenada, providing more options for those embarking from San Francisco. With its wide-ranging routes, Carnival Luminosa plays a key role in expanding the 2027 Alaska Voyages and offering flexibility to guests on the West Coast.
Expanding the Carnival Journeys Program
Carnival Legend brings new energy to the Carnival Journeys program, known for immersive, limited-series cruises that feature special destinations and enhanced onboard activities. In 2027, Carnival Legend’s repositioning from Tampa to Seattle will include a 16-day Panama Canal sailing, marking Carnival Cruise Line’s long-awaited return to Acapulco after 17 years. This milestone voyage will also visit Cartagena and Santa Marta in Colombia and Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, culminating in a full transit of the Panama Canal. Once homeported in Seattle, Carnival Legend will embark on 22 week-long 2027 Alaska Voyages, calling at the region’s most celebrated ports, and later offer a 16-day journey to Hawaii – continuing the tradition of creating unforgettable cruise experiences for adventurous travelers.
Distinctive Itineraries and Special Experiences
Carnival Spirit also embraces the spirit of Carnival Journeys with back-to-back specialty cruises, including a nine-day Western Caribbean voyage from Mobile and a 16-day Panama Canal sailing featuring stops in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Costa Rica. The ship will then depart Seattle for a unique 15-day journey to the Hawaiian Islands before dedicating the summer to 2027 Alaska Voyages. With 20 week-long itineraries to Alaska’s premier ports and a nine-day sailing that introduces Sitka as an additional highlight, Carnival Spirit provides ample opportunities for guests to experience the grandeur of Alaska with the distinctive fun and entertainment the cruise line is celebrated for.
Looking Ahead to 2027
The upcoming 2027 Alaska Voyages promise new discoveries, innovative routes, and the signature onboard entertainment and enrichment activities that make Carnival Journeys so memorable. Carnival Cruise Line’s commitment to expanding both the breadth and depth of its offerings is evident in this comprehensive program, inviting travelers to start planning for a truly remarkable Alaska adventure.
