Carnival Alaska Cruises
If you're looking for a cruise vacation that's a little bit out of the way and a little bit out of the ordinary, make an Alaska cruise your first choice. If your first thought is "Alaska? cool!" you're on the right track - even in the mild summer season, you should still pack your sweater. Grab it and get up here because Alaska is a natural wonder through and through, and the coastal panhandle region Carnival sails to is perhaps the most stunning. How's Alaska planning on stunning you? Alaska cruises will do it with quaint seaside towns like Ketchikan and Skagway, and with stunning harbor vistas like Juneau's. Cruising Alaska will also give you a first-row ticket to the best of nature - including fjords, wildlife and mountains galore. "Oh, mother nature... now you're just showing off."

Carnival Cruise Ships in Alaska
Sailing on the "Fun Ships" is sure to be an adventure, especially when going somewhere as spectacular as Alaska. Carnival Cruises to Alaska leave from Vancouver, Seattle, and Long Beach, and travel to Alaskan cities like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. With Carnival, you can cruise in a fun, relaxed atmosphere for a great value.
Three of Carnival's fun ships sail to Alaska: the Carnival Miracle, the Carnival Luminosa, and the Carnival Spirit. These ships carry between 2,100 and 3,000 passengers and have crews of around 1,000, so you can enjoy the amenities of a large, contemporary ship and the top-notch service of a smaller line. Each ship boasts spa services like facial treatments, men's services, ZSpa (just for teens!), a medi-spa, and hair and beauty treatments, as well as a Serenity Adult Only Retreat space. They also have plenty of public spaces to relax and play, including an onboard atrium, casino, mini golf course, basketball court, and area for dance classes. Hungry? The options are endless, with a steakhouse, main dining room, lido restaurant, pizza place, ice creamery, deli, and breakfast grill on each ship.
