Carnival Cruise Line is unveiling its lineup of Alaska cruises for 2027.
The company will have three ships sailing to No. 49, with Carnival Spirit and Carnival Legend homeporting in Seattle and Carnival Luminosa based in San Francisco. Together, the vessels will offer more than 50 Alaska itineraries, as well as repositioning cruises in the spring and fall.
“At Carnival, our three-ship deployment continues to serve up the perfect blend of the Alaskan landscape’s breathtaking natural beauty and our signature Carnival fun,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Cruising is truly the best way to see Alaska, which is why these itineraries remain extremely popular each year—and all the more reason why travelers plan Alaska cruises far in advance.”
Departing from Sydney, the 2,800-guest Carnival Luminosa will spend 23 days crossing the Pacific Ocean to arrive in San Francisco in April 2027. Along the way, guests will be able to enjoy stops in Suva, Fiji; Moorea and Papeete, French Polynesia; and Honolulu, Hawaii.
Starting May 3, 2027, the vessel will begin making 10-day voyages to Alaska, with stops in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. The ship will also sail to Baja Mexico, including four-day long-weekend sailings to Ensenada departing on Thursday and returning on Monday.

Carnival Legend, meanwhile, will reposition from Tampa to Seattle with a 16-day Panama Canal voyage that will mark the cruise line’s first visit to Acapulco, Mexico, since 2010. Departing April 4, 2027, the voyage also includes stops in Cartagena and Santa Marta, Colombia, as well as Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Once the vessel arrives in Seattle, it will offer 7-day voyages to Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Victoria, British Columbia. On September 21, 2027, the ship will offer a 16-day sailing to Hawaii.
Carnival Spirit will offer back-to-back Carnival Journeys cruises: a 9-day Western Caribbean sailing, followed by a 16-day Panama Canal voyage in March 2027. In April, the ship will offer a 15-day Carnival Journeys voyage to Hawaii.
Starting April 29, 2027, the 2,700-guest Carnival Spirit will begin sailing 7-day cruises from Seattle to Alaska, with an additional 9-day voyage that visits Sitka.
