MIAMI, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As Carnival
Cruise Line continues to expand its itinerary offerings, the
company today announced that it will offer three special longer
length Carnival Journeys cruises in 2019.
The voyages include a unique 24-day trans-Pacific crossing
aboard Carnival Splendor from Long
Beach to Singapore, as well
as two voyages aboard Carnival Miracle – a 13-day Panama Canal
transit from Tampa to Long Beach and a 14-day Hawaii cruise round-trip from Long Beach.
The 24-day voyage is the longest single departure in Carnival
Cruise Line's history and marks the first time that the line will
visit Guam, Vietnam and Malaysia on a North American departure.
In addition to visiting some of the world's most beautiful
destinations, guests sailing on Carnival Journeys cruises enjoy
unique on-board activities during which they can sample local
cuisine and enjoy entertainment and cultural opportunities within
the various ports of call. Activities focusing on topics such as
photography, cooking, arts and crafts and celestial navigation,
along with a 1980s-themed "Throwback Sea Day," are also
offered.
"We're delighted to expand upon our itinerary choices with these
three exciting Carnival Journeys, including an unforgettable 24-day
voyage trans-Pacific transit featuring our first-ever calls to
spectacular ports in the Far East," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise
Line.
24-Day Transpacific Crossing on Carnival Splendor
The
3,012-passenger Carnival Splendor will operate an unprecedented
24-day trans-Pacific crossing that will depart Long Beach, Calif., on Oct. 5 and arrive in Singapore Oct.
30, 2019.
The voyage will feature extended port calls at Maui and Honolulu,
Hawaii, before crossing the International Date Line, then
visit Guam, and Kota Kinabalu,
Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – the first time the
line has visited these destinations on a ship departing from North
America. On this fantastic seagoing adventure guests can
visit ancient temples and other centuries-old landmarks and
attractions and immerse themselves in Far East culture.
The 24-day voyage will also offer a traditional ceremony held
when mariners cross the International Date Line which essentially
adds an extra day to the cruise.
