Carnival offers a choice of itineraries, from two- to 17-days, to worldwide destinations, including the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, Bermuda, Europe, New England and the Canadian Maritimes. In 2006, several new sailings will be offered from all along the Eastern Coast to the new ports of call. The line, which was formed in 1972, is celebrating over 35 years of offering its passengers fun. However, "Today's Carnival" is a vastly different company than the one started from humble beginnings three decades ago. Carnival was launched with a converted Transatlantic ocean liner and a dream of entrepreneur Ted Arison, a pioneer in the modern-day cruise industry, who set out to realize his vision of making a vacation experience once reserved for the very rich accessible to the average person. The rest, as they say, is history. more

Featured Destination: Alaska
When Seward increased its fee a few years ago, Princess Cruises made Whittier, Alaska, as its embarkation port for southbound Alaska cruises. The good news for Princess passengers is that Whittier is an interesting destination in its own right. Don't visit between November and February, however, unless you bring a flashlight ' the sun doesn't rise high enough during that period for direct sunlight to reach over the nearby Chugach Mountains to warm town. From Anchorage, the trip aboard the Alaska Railroad to Whittier is a scenic 2 hour and 20 minute ride ($55.00 one way). Highlights of your visit would include: fishing, kayaking and day-cruises which cater to visitors who want to explore this "gateway to Prince William Sound." On your way into Whittier you'll pass through the 2.5 mile Anton Anderson Tunnel - the longest highway tunnel in North America. more |
