Where Carnival Is Sending Three Ships in 2028 and 2029

Guests with adventurous spirits who are looking for legendary getaways in 2028 and 2029 need look no further, as Carnival Cruise Line has opened West Coast bookings for Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend, and Carnival Adventure with destinations from Hawaii and Mexico to Alaska.

Guests can make reservations for these new cruises beginning Thursday, October 1, 2026, with departures available from Seattle, San Francisco, and Long Beach, as well as one unique Carnival Journeys sailing through the Panama Canal.

Carnival Adventure in Alaska (and Hawaii!)

Carnival Adventure will relocate from Australia to Seattle to offer 7-night sailings in the Last Frontier from May through September 2028. Her first Alaska sailing will depart Seattle on May 9, while her last weeklong sailing will depart on September 5. A final itinerary departing on September 12 is a 9-night cruise, giving guests a little bit longer to say goodbye to Alaska for the year.

Depending on sailing date, Carnival Adventure will be visiting top destinations such as Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Victoria, as well as featuring scenic cruising through Endicott Arm Fjord.

Following her time in Alaska, the 2,636-guest Carnival Adventure will offer one 16-night Carnival Journeys departure roundtrip from Seattle to Hawaii, with visits to Nawiliwili, Honolulu, Kahului, and Hilo in the Aloha State plus a stop in Victoria, British Columbia.

Carnival Legend Sailing Alaska and Mexico from San Francisco

Carnival Legend is offering summer 2028 sailings to both Alaska and Mexico departing from San Francisco from April through September, offering guests unique opportunities for back-to-back cruises covering more than 2,100 miles from Skagway to Ensenada.

The 2,124-guest ship’s Mexico itineraries are a total of ten 4-night Baja sailings to Ensenada, while in Alaska, Carnival Legend is offering nine 10-night voyages beginning with the May 15 departure and ending with the September 4 departure. These cruises will visit Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Prince Rupert, along with scenic cruising through Endicott Arm Fjord.

On either end of her Alaska/Mexico season, Carnival Legend is offering longer sailings. On April 28, 2028, the ship will begin her Alaska season with a 13-night itinerary that will visit Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Prince Rupert, plus Endicott Arm cruising.

Carnival Spirit in Alaska, Hawaii, and Mexico

The 2,124-guest Carnival Spirit will have the most diverse West Coast season of all as the ship begins with a one-way, 16-night Carnival Journeys Panama Canal sailing departing Tampa, Florida on April 16, 2028. The ship will visit Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Puntarenas, and Cabo San Lucas before arriving in Seattle.

From May 11 through September 7, the ship will offer eighteen 7-night Alaska cruises to Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway, plus scenic cruising through Endicott Arm Fjord and a visit to Victoria, British Columbia.

For guests interested in longer Alaska cruises, Carnival Spirit also has select 9-night voyages that include Sitka and Icy Strait Point, depending on departure date. Those sailings are departing Seattle on May 2, September 14, and September 23.

After finishing her time in Alaska, Carnival Spirit will remain on the West Coast but will reposition to Long Beach with Mexico itineraries ranging from 3-8 nights in length, as well as a total of 11 roundtrip Hawaii itineraries with various departure dates through spring 2029.
