This journey will visit Spain, Portugal, and France and aligns with a total solar eclipse on August 12, creating a unique viewing occasion at sea. Notable ports include Le Havre (Paris), France; Vigo, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and Zeebrugge (Brussels), Belgium. The European season starts with a 14-day transatlantic voyage from Miami to Dover, followed by 9 cruises ranging from 9 to 12 days exploring Northern Europe, the British Isles, Scandinavia, and the Baltic region. Moreover, there are trips from Civitavecchia (Rome) to iconic places in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Croatia. This season wraps up with a 14-day journey from Civitavecchia to Tampa, Florida in November 2026, stopping in Spain, Gibraltar, and Bermuda.
• Alaska Routes from Seattle. Carnival Spirit and Carnival Miracle will both sail from Seattle in the summer of 2026, delivering 7-day Alaska tours. These include cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord and calling at Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan, Alaska, as well as Victoria, British Columbia. Special Carnival Journeys sailings include a 9-day trip through the Inside Passage with a stop in Sitka, Alaska, and a 10-day voyage visiting Icy Strait Point, Alaska. Additionally, Carnival Spirit will embark on a 15-day round-trip Carnival Journeys cruise to Hawaii, leaving from Seattle in September 2026.
