Continuing the expansion of Carnival Journeys longer enrichment sailings, Carnival Splendor will operate a round-trip 14-day Alaskan adventure from Long Beach CA, featuring awe-inspiring sites like majestic Hubbard Glacier and a day-long call on Icy Strait Point, an unspoiled wilderness area which offers some of the best whale and bear watching and the longest zip-line in the world.
The voyage will depart Long Beach on August 25 and return September 8, 2018.
In addition to a full day at Hubbard Glacier and Icy Strait Point, the 14-day cruise will feature the spectacular destinations of Ketchikan, Skagway, Juneau and Sitka, Alaska, along with a day-long call at Victoria BC.
In addition to unique cultural opportunities and historic landmarks, each of these destinations offers awe-inspiring natural wonders, including calving glaciers, magnificent fjords and native sea and animal life. A wide variety of shore excursions – from helicopter flightseeing and rainforest canopy tours to hiking, canoeing and kayaking expeditions, and alpine lake snorkeling – will also be available.
The 14-day Carnival Journeys Alaska cruise will also feature unique on-board experiences where guests can enjoy local cuisine, entertainment and cultural opportunities within the various ports of call. Activities focusing topics such as photography, cooking and arts and crafts and a 1980s-themed “Throwback Sea Day” will be offered, as well.
Guests aboard Carnival Splendor can also enjoy the ship’s many onboard features and amenities, including a classic American-style steakhouse, the luxurious Cloud 9 Spa, and a retractable dome covering the main pool area that also houses the ship’s massive Seaside Theatre LED screen. Kids can have an amazing cruise experience with supervised programs catering to three age groups – Camp Ocean (2-11), Circle “C” (12-14) and Club O2 (15-17), along with fun activities that are part of Seuss at Sea, an exclusive partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
The 14-day Carnival Splendor cruise complements the line’s wide-ranging Alaska schedule that includes a two-week-long voyage round-trip from Long Beach aboard Carnival Miracle in September 2017 and 38 seven- and eight-day voyages aboard Carnival Legend in summer and fall 2017-2018. Several of the seven-day cruises feature a day cruising Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO Heritage Site.
All of Carnival’s 2017-2018 Alaska cruises aboard Carnival Splendor, Carnival Legend and Carnival Miracle are current open for reservations.
