Carnival Luminosa, 10 Night Alaska Inside Passage & Glacier ex San Francisco, California, USA Return

10-Day Alaska Inside Passage & Glacier from San Francisco, CA

Day 1: San Francisco
Seaports have always been important throughout history…it’s about more than just the cargo, but the import and export of ideas. You could say that a city’s seaside status almost necessarily creates a crossroads of cultures. All that said, something sets San Francisco apart! Maybe it’s the year-round comfy weather that makes people want to spend their time outdoors, or perhaps it’s the spectacular food culture, or the history, or the hills, or the architecture. But one thing can be proven: San Francisco is beautiful, arguably the most romantic and cosmopolitan city in the U.S., and all of these elements go into the mix of making it a place you want to be, whether you know it or not. From the world’s most recognizable bridge, The Golden Gate, to the quirky, flower-lined Lombard Street… it’s no surprise that in SF even a former prison island — you knew we’re talking about Alcatraz, right? — ends up being an iconic destination.

Day 2: Fun Day At Sea
No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.

Day 4: Juneau
Astounding ice-capped mountains welcome the cruising traveler to Juneau. Alaska is called the Land of the Midnight Sun, and its capital shines with a wide selection of delicious dining and native Alaskan art shopping. But Juneau isn’t just a fun name to say, you know — Carnival cruises to Juneau transport you to one of the most beautiful capital cities in America, with once-in-a-lifetime shore excursions that include walking on glaciers, whale watching, and hikes through the country’s last old-growth forests.

Day 5: Skagway
Walk in the footsteps of pioneers and profiteers on Carnival cruises to Skagway. Gold seekers stampeded to the Klondike more than 100 years ago and built Skagway, Alaska as their lawless outpost of brothels, saloons, and gambling dens. Today, the town is more of a time capsule from the past, with carefully preserved buildings and streets brimming with history. Live the final chapter of America’s Wild West era on a Skagway cruise.

Day 6: Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord
One of the most spectacular cruise destinations on earth, Tracy Arm Fjord is actually made up of two separate fjords. Each fjord is over 30 miles long, and a full fifth of their area is covered in ice… not to mention the glaciers, truly one of nature’s most dramatic and breathtaking sights. With these huge chunks of sliding ice, hundreds of waterfalls and a variety of native wildlife, you won’t even want to blink as you cruise through this natural wonder.

Day 7: Ketchikan
For more than 100 years, Ketchikan, Alaska has been the gateway to the North. Ketchikan cruises dock along the famed historic waterfront. Check out the flourishing art scene and spectacular totem poles that have transformed this former frontier town into a popular southern Alaskan port of call. Experience the sights, atmosphere and excitement of the Last Frontier as soon as you cross the Alaska border on Carnival cruises to Ketchikan.

Day 8: Prince Rupert, BC
You can probably tell that Prince Rupert, British Columbia is a little more laid back, less bustling than other places, thanks to its nickname: “The City of Rainbows.” It may have more to do with the climate, but the name still fits, with welcoming, photo-worthy natural sights that even the frequently moist weather can’t dampen. It’s easy to be this beautiful with a cast of local wildlife like Prince Rupert has, with grizzly bears, humpback whales and eagles making up just a few of the stars. The local museums are another spot to get a feel for the area, whether it’s art, culture or, say, railroads you’re into. And definitely stop into the local shops, plus restaurants that are proud to serve up fresh-caught local delicacies.

Day 9: Fun Day At Sea
No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
