Alaska Cruise - Carnival Miracle

Ship sails from Seattle, WA | Duration: 9 Days | All Shipboard Meals Included

 

Ports of Call:

 

Skagway, Alaska

As the ship approaches Skagway, the town unfolds at the base of a river valley, bordered by the Coast Mountains. These rugged peaks, towering between 5,000 to 7,000 feet, appear to ascend directly from the saltwater fjord. Stepping ashore, you're transported back over a century, to a time when this tranquil native fishing village was inundated by waves of prospectors. Wooden boardwalks, vintage saloons, charming boutiques, and horse-drawn carriages now echo the bygone era of the Alaskan Gold Rush.

 

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau earns its reputation as one of the nation's most stunning capital cities. Covering over 3,100 square miles, it holds the distinction of being the largest American city in terms of geography. Its landscape, characterized by hills and winding roads, offers a charming blend of small-town allure and cosmopolitan flair. Amidst its narrow streets, you'll discover a delightful fusion of quaint local charm and urban sophistication, with excellent shopping, fine dining, and captivating museums.

 

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord

Nestled between towering 3,000-foot granite walls, Tracy Arm Fjord winds its way through the lush Tongass National Forest for approximately 35 miles. This narrow, twisting waterway is adorned with cascading waterfalls from melting snowcaps and dotted with trees sprouting at unique angles from rugged rocky outcroppings.

 

Ketchikan, Alaska

Nestled along the renowned Inside Passage of Alaska, Ketchikan is a vibrant hub brimming with Native American heritage. As the proud home to the largest concentration of Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian communities in the state, this picturesque city on Revillagigedo Island showcases an extraordinary array of cultural treasures. From the world's largest collection of totem poles to captivating museums and cultural centers highlighting Native dance, carvings, and artifacts, Ketchikan offers a rich tapestry of indigenous traditions. Its tranquil waters and surprisingly mild climate also make it a beloved destination for sport fishermen seeking adventure amidst its serene surroundings.

 

Victoria, British Columbia

Nestled on the southern tip of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, the charming city of Victoria is renowned for its temperate climate and vibrant outdoor culture. With a wealth of attractions to explore, including world-renowned gardens, a rich tapestry of 150 years of British heritage, exquisite gourmet dining experiences, and an array of fantastic shopping opportunities, Victoria invites visitors to immerse themselves in its captivating blend of natural beauty and cultural delights.

Carnival Miracle

 

Carnival Miracle is a ship you may not believe when you see... but definitely don't miss seeing it!

 

When we say that Carnival Miracle takes you to another world, we mean that in every sense. Not only does this ship visit stunning destinations, but features incredible onboard spaces inspired by elements of fantasy. Escape from reality as you take in a show at the Phantom Lounge or a dance at Dr. Frankenstein's Lab. To lose yourself in a song, find your way to Sam's Piano Bar. Hungry? You'll find great food all over the place, from the casual fare of Horatio's to the artful eats of the Bacchus and Ariadne dining rooms... not to mention the world-class cuts at Nick & Nora's Steakhouse.

 

At Alchemy Bar® we make drinks into art, while the laid-back RedFrog Pub™ has "Caribbean cool" down to a science.And at Heroes Tribute Bar™, we're always raising a glass to those who matter. Outdoors there's fun to be had, whether you're down for watersliding or up for simply sunning — Carnival WaterWorks™ has you covered (in water, that is), and the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™ will get you relaxing in the sun or the shade, grown-up-style.
