Week-Long Adventure to Visit Seven Majestic Alaskan and Canadian Destinations, Including Line’s First-Ever Call at Breathtaking Icy Strait Point
MIAMI (August 24, 2016) – For the first time, Carnival Cruise Line
will offer a 14-day Alaskan adventure round-trip from Long Beach,
Calif., in September 2017 featuring seven spectacular destinations,
including Glacier Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the line’s
first visit to Icy Strait Point, an unspoiled wilderness area offering some of the best whale and bear watching in the state and the world’s longest zip-line.
The one-of-a-kind voyage -- part of the line’s Carnival Journeys cruise enrichment series -- will take place aboard Carnival Miracle departing Long Beach Sept. 2 and returning Sept. 16, 2017.
In
addition to a full-day sailing Glacier Bay and Carnival’s inaugural
call to Icy Strait Point, the 14-day cruise will feature the stunning
Alaskan ports of Ketchikan, Skagway, Juneau and Sitka, as well as
Vancouver, British Columbia. Each of these destinations offers a rich
history and culture, along with awe-inspiring natural wonders, including
calving glaciers, magnificent fjords and native sea and animal life. A
wide range of exciting shore excursions – from helicopter flightseeing
and rainforest canopy tours to hiking, canoeing and kayaking
expeditions, and alpine lake snorkeling – will be available.
Guests sailing on the special 14-day Carnival Journeys cruise
will also enjoy unique on-board experiences where they can sample
Alaskan cuisine and enjoy local entertainment and cultural opportunities
within the various ports of call. Activities focusing on a broad
range of topics – everything from photography and cooking to arts and
crafts and celestial navigation -- along with a 1980s-themed “Throwback
Sea Day” will be offered, as well.
Carnival Legend
will also offer 38 seven- and eight-day Alaska voyages in 2017 and
2018, including seven week-long Glacier Bay cruises next year -- the
most voyages by Carnival to this region, which features majestic
glaciers and other ice formations and is home to numerous whales, bears
and other wildlife.
The
seven- and eight-day voyages operate either round-trip from Seattle or
from Vancouver to Seattle, visiting a variety of stunning ports,
including Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria, BC, plus a full-day
cruising Tracy Arm Fjord or Glacier Bay.
“A
Carnival Alaska cruise is like no other and with this exciting new
14-day Carnival Journeys adventure, combined with the wide variety of
seven- and eight-day voyages, we’re offering guests an incredible array
of opportunities to get an up close and personal look at this beautiful
sailing region,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise
Line.
Carnival Miracle and Carnival Legend
feature a wide range of dining and entertainment choices, including an
elegant American steakhouse serving U.S.D.A. prime aged beef and other
gourmet cuisine and the Caribbean-inspired RedFrog Pub. Kids can have
an unforgettable cruise experience with exhilarating water slides as
well as fun supervised programs catering to three age groups and the
popular Seuss at Sea program with fun activities like the
Seuss-a-palooza Parade and Story Time and more.
