CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE OPENS MORE SAILINGS IN 2025 WITH ITINERARIES AVAILABLE FOR ALASKA FROM SEATTLE AND NEW CARNIVAL JOURNEYS CRUISES

New Options Now Available Aboard Carnival Spirit and Carnival Luminosa, As Carnival Journeys Program Continues to Expand

It’s never too early to plan for an incredible Alaskan adventure! Carnival Cruise Line opens more sailings in its 2025-26 deployment, including cruises to Alaska from Seattle on two ships: Carnival Spirit and Carnival Luminosa. Several Carnival Journeys cruises aboard the two ships are also opening for sale. These include a transatlantic sailing from Barcelona, Spain to Miami and a 29-day transpacific voyage from Brisbane, Australia to Seattle that features several stops in Japan.

“The wildlife, well-preserved natural wonder, the incredible experiences on shore and the welcoming locals are just some of the reasons why Alaska cruises are so popular with guests, and also why they tend to book quickly,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

“These two ships will also build on our popular Carnival Journeys program, making more truly bucket-list destinations available on opposite sides of the world – with Carnival Luminosa’s amazing 29-day transpacific voyage visiting Japan and Carnival Spirit’s two cruises ahead of Alaska season, which will take the ship from Barcelona to Miami and then from Miami to San Francisco.”

The following is a sampling of the new offerings available beginning in April 2025.
