Carnival adding Alaska capacity

Carnival Cruise Line will put the Carnival Freedom on seven-day cruises from Seattle to Alaska in 2021 and move the Carnival Miracle to 10- and 11-day Alaska cruises from San Francisco.

The moves will increase capacity in Alaska for Carnival. In the summer of 2020, Carnival will operate the 2,124-passenger Miracle and 2,124-passenger Carnival Spirit in Alaska.

The 2,974-passenger Freedom will operate 21 Alaska cruises from Seattle from April 27 to Sept. 22, 2021, departing on Tuesdays. Port calls include Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Victoria, B.C. Cruises feature scenic cruising in Tracy Arm Fjord.

The Miracle, which launches Carnival’s first service from San Francisco in March 2020, will return to San Francisco in 2021 to operate a summer schedule of 10- and 11-day Alaska cruises.
