Carnival Cruise Line is unveiling more of its 2025-26 deployment by opening sailings to Alaska from Seattle on two ships: the Carnival Spirit and the Carnival Luminosa.
The company also opened for sale several Carnival Journeys cruises onboard the two ships, including 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.”
Carnival Luminosa
The Carnival Luminosa’s 2025 program in Alaska includes seven-day cruises departing from Seattle every Thursday.
Set to be repeated between May 1, 2025 and Sept. 11, 2025, the ship’s regular itinerary features visits to Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, Alaska, as well as Victoria, British Columbia.
Ahead of its Alaska season, the Carnival Luminosa will also offer a Carnival Journeys cruise. The 29-day transpacific cruise is scheduled to depart from Brisbane, Australia, on April 3, 2025.
The itinerary includes “spectacular destinations,” Carnival said, such as Okinawa, Hiroshima, Tokyo, Hakodate and Kushiro in Japan, as well as Anchorage, Juneau and Ketchikan in Alaska.
