Sarah Bretz, ContributorCarnival Legend has arrived at the Port of San Francisco — where it will spend the summer — for the first time. Legend is now the second Carnival ship to sail the cruise line’s seasonal schedule from San Francisco, strengthening Carnival’s position as the cruise line embarking more guests than any other operator in California.
Welcoming Carnival Legend to San Francisco, port leaders joined the ship’s senior officers, including Captain Mark Harlow, for a traditional plaque exchange in honor of the ship’s first arrival. The vessel also completes Carnival’s deployment for the Alaska cruise season, joining Carnival Spirit and Carnival Luminosa, which homeport in Seattle. From San Francisco, Carnival Legend will operate 10-day roundtrip cruises that immerse guests in the beauty of Alaska’s most popular destinations as well as several shorter getaways to the Mexican Riviera.
“The Carnival Legend team is proud to homeport in beautiful San Francisco for the very first time,” said Mark Harlow, captain of Carnival Legend. “We’re looking forward to sailing guests on unique cruises, connecting this vibrant city with the stunning landscapes of Alaska’s most popular destinations. Our 965 team members are ready to deliver happy and memorable cruise vacations to our guests from this incredible city.”
Guests embarking today on Carnival Legend will sail on a four-day voyage to Mexico. On May 12th, the vessel will depart on its first cruise of the season to Alaska, visiting Skagway, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Prince Rupert in British Columbia. The voyage will also offer scenic cruising in Tracy Arm Fjord.
Legend will offer a 15-day roundtrip Carnival Journeys cruise to Hawaii departing September 21st, visiting Kahului, Maui; Honolulu, Oahu; Nawiliwili, Kauai; and Hilo, Hawaii.
