ALASKA

The wonders of the last frontier.

More Excitement.  More Adventure.  More Alaska.  As you glide through a majestic landscape of snow-capped mountains and sparkling waterfalls, you're warmed by the spring or summer sun.  You pass dense forests of dark green pines, meadows of multicolored wildflowers and dazzling white glaciers with deep blue shadows.  Swimming beside the ship are playful humpback whales and frolicking sea lions with lustrous eyes.  Stand quietly and you may hear the distant crashing of calving glaciers or the nearby cry of an eagle.  Inhale deeply of the crisp, clean air and you will feel that you are discovering breathing for the first time.  This is Alaska, one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth.

On your 7 day northbound or southbound cruise along the Gulf of Alaska, you'll experience all the beauty of the Last Frontier in sublime comfort.  You will cruise the inside passage.  Enjoy stops such as Ketchikan, Juneau, Valdez, Skagway.  And of course, you will cruise Prince William Sound and The Lynn Canal.  You will soon understand why experienced cruisers repeat this cruise year after year.

Riding the Rails in Style — When traveling to or from Denali, Carnival guests enjoy the luxury of the McKinley Explorer, a full-domed private railcar.  While you savor brunch or dinner, you can also feast on the scenery through huge panoramic windows.

Come to Fairbanks and Pan for Gold — If your Cruise Tour includes Fairbanks, Alaska's second largest city, then bring some frontier spirit.  Because you'll view historical exhibits during a gold mining tour, and can even try your luck at panning for the precious metal of which dreams are made.

Once you have decided where you would like to visit, your next decision is when?  The winter months of January, February, March and April are most popular and are referred to as "peak season."  June, July and August, as well as major holidays such as Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas are also "peak season."  Whenever you choose to take your Caribbean cruise, the weather is always warm and welcoming!
