Carnival Cruise Line recently sailed away for the first time ever from San Francisco with the 2,124 passenger Carnival Miracle.  The new itinerary expands its West Coast service offerings embarking more guests than any other operator from California.

Following an initial four-day Baja Mexico cruise from the Port of San Francisco, Carnival Miracle will begin the first of a series of 11 ten-day Alaska cruise vacations featuring stops in Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, in Victoria, BC, Canada and scenic cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord (stops vary depending on cruise date).  Four- and five-day Baja Mexico cruises will also be offered, culminating with a 15-day Carnival Journeys cruise to Hawaii on September 15, 2022.

Carnival has been on the West Coast for nearly 40 years, first cruising from Los Angeles in 1979, and has operated a homeport in Long Beach for 20 years. Currently, Carnival Radiance and Carnival Panorama operate year-round from Long Beach and offer a range of itineraries to the Mexican Riviera.

Carnival Cruise Line has also expanded its West Coast offerings with its largest Alaska deployment in history. Three ships will make 49 departures this season from San Francisco and Seattle. The May 2 Carnival Splendor Alaska sailing from Seattle marks another milestone: The return to service of Carnival’s full fleet of 23 ships.
