Carnival Cruise Line to increase capacity in Alaska

Carnival Cruise Line will increase its presence in Alaska in April 2021, deploying Carnival Freedom from Seattle, Washington on week-long ‘Glacier Route’ voyages.

Carnival Freedom will operate 21 Alaska cruises from the Port of Seattle between 27 April and 22 September 2021, departing every Tuesday. Ports of call will include Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan in Alaska, as well as Victoria, Canada.

The ship will join Carnival Miracle, which will operate 10- and 11-day Alaska cruises from San Francisco, California beginning in May 2021. Carnival Miracle will sail to ports like Icy Strait Point Alaska and Victoria.

“Alaska is a ‘bucket list’ destination that offers a unique combination of fascinating wildlife and unique cultural and sightseeing opportunities,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “We’re delighted to provide our guests with even more opportunities to choose fun as they experience and explore the beauty and majesty of Alaska.”

Following her stay in Seattle, Carnival Freedom will sail a 17-day voyage through the Panama Canal, calling in Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico between 22 September and 9 October 2021. Meanwhile, Carnival Miracle will be offering two- to six-day voyages from San Diego, California to destinations in Mexico from 3 October 2021 to 18 April 2022.
