Millions of people each year enjoy Carnival Cruises. Carnival is one of the most popular cruise lines because of its value and opportunities for entertainment. They offer several different cruises to Alaska, including Northbound Alaska, Southbound Alaska, and Glacier Bay.

Northbound Alaska

All of the Northbound Carnival Cruises to Alaska are seven to ten days long. They have starting prices ranging from $649 to $999. Each of the eight cruises sets sail from Vancouver, British Columbia. The first port of call is Ketchikan, Alaska. From there, the ship sails to Juneau, Alaska. Then the ship sails through the Lynn Canal to Sitka, Alaska. Then the ship sails through Prince William Sound to Anchorage. When the ship leaves Anchorage, it cruises the College Fjord, and then it goes back to Anchorage.

Southbound Alaska

All the Southbound Alaska Carnival Cruises are also seven to ten days long. The journey they take is exactly the opposite of the Northbound Alaska cruises. The ship leaves Anchorage, and sails (eventually) to Vancouver, British Columbia. These cruises start out anywhere between $689 and $949.

Glacier Bay

There are only three Carnival Cruises to this region of Alaska. Each cruise is seven days long and costs between $809 and $889. Each of these cruises sets sail from Vancouver, British Columbia and follows the Inside Passage. At the end of the Inside Passage, the ship reaches Juneau Alaska. From there, it goes through Glacier Bay to Skagway, Alaska. Then the ship travels to Ketchikan, Alaska. Then it travels through the Inside Passage again and goes back to Vancouver, British Columbia.

With each of these cruises, you will be spending days on the water. There are many things to do onboard the Carnival Cruises to Alaska.
