In 2022, the Carnival Pride will offer a unique itinerary in the region, connecting the Mediterranean and Northern Europe with this 12-night repositioning cruise.

The Carnival Miracle is returning to Alaska in 2022 with unique ten-night cruises from San Francisco, California.
This longer itinerary allows the ship to visit four ports – three in the Last Frontier and one in Canada. An extended 12-hour stay in Juneau means more time for guests to enjoy the city and its surrounding areas.
Before returning to California, the Carnival Miracle also cruises through the Tracy Arm Fjord, offering the passengers unique scenic views of the region.

In September, the vessel is also sailing a special one-time ten-night cruise to the Caribbean, visiting five different ports.
The itinerary combines calls in both the Eastern and Western Caribbean, with visits to ports in the regions including George Town (Grand Cayman), Grand Turk (Turks and Caicos) and Cozumel (Mexico).
Ship: Carnival Splendor

Length: 3 nights
Homeport: Sydney (Australia)
Ports: Ocean Getaway
With two vessels based in Australia year-round, Carnival offers a variety of itineraries in the region from ports such as Sydney and Brisbane.

In December 2022, for instance, the Carnival Splendor will sail from Sydney on a three-night inter-holidays ocean getaway with no ports of call.
