Day 2 - Oct 5th

Cruising

Unwind in the Thermal Suite — perhaps in the sauna or salt room. Order a round of your new favorite cocktail at the Observation Lounge while toasting the 180-degree jaw-dropping vistas. Give your taste buds a double dose of deliciousness at the many dining options, including Onda by Scarpetta, and enjoy a moonlit dinner along The Waterfront. Do all this and so much more!

Day 3 - Oct 6th

 Juneau - 2:30 PM - 10:00 PM

 

Known for its breathtaking landscape and rich wildlife, Juneau's Mendenhall Glacier is not to be missed.

Juneau has been called “Alaska’s” peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Ice fields and Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area's many protected waterways, go flight-seeing or tour historic downtown. The majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a treck worthwhile. Fun fact - get a taste for local fare downtown; try Alaskan king crab, smoked salmon and locally brewed beer.

Day 4 - Oct 7th

 Skagway - 6:00AM - 8:00 PM

 

Fun fact - Skagway is named after the native word for "Windy Place!" Offering a charming boardwalk, a train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, the Red Onion Saloon Brothel Museum, kayaking, canoeing, grizzly falls, helicopter tours, fresh seafood, bakeries, local breweries, and much, much more.

Day 5 - Oct 8th

Cruising/Glacier Bay

 

The sight of towering glaciers, with dramatic mountain landscapes, will leave you awe-inspired! Witness calving glaciers (the ice breaks off into the sea), wildlife like bears, otters, whales and seabirds.

Day 6 - Oct 9th

Ketchikan (Ward Cove) 7:00 AM - 1:15 PM

 

Fun fact - Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "first city" because of its geographic location at the tip of the Inside Passage. Its Tlingit Indian name, Kach Khanna, means “spread wings of the eagle.” Chances are you'll see one of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree during your Alaska cruise to Ketchikan (Ward Cove).

Day 7 - Oct 10th

Victoria BC Canada - 8:00 PM - 11:59 PM

 

Explore historic Bastion Square, the treasures of Chinatown and the many sights and sounds to be found along the boardwalk of the Inner Harbour. Fun fact - Victoria’s Chinatown is the second oldest in North America after San Francisco. You’ll find the narrowest alley in all of Canada here. The capital city of British Columbia, Victoria boasts many historic buildings and some of the best museums in Western Canada.

Day 8 - Oct 11th

Mediterranean Cruise 2026

Experience Europe Like Never Before... Onboard the Carnival Freedom

Friday, October 9th

Depart Barcelona, Spain - 7:30 pm

 

Few places in the world pack in as much culture per square meter as Europe does… and nobody packs fun into Europe like Carnival does! There’s so much variety across the continent and its islands, and with Carnival you have options for experiencing many of these places by sea. Cruise the Mediterranean and soak in the espresso-fueled, yet somehow unhurried, cobblestone-lined street life from a sidewalk café. Snow-capped peaks go great with postcard-perfect glaciers across Northern Europe destinations… plus you’ll find some of the greenest British Isle views on the same itinerary! Western Europe cruises visit the region from which the explorers of the New World kicked off their voyages. If your head is spinning with all the possibilities… great! That means you have choices — and believe us, any one of them is the right choice!

Saturday, October 10th

Marseille (Provence) - 8:00 am - 4:00 pm


Marseille is France’s second largest city, its largest port on the Mediterranean and — thanks in large part to Algerian immigration in the 1950s — a melting pot of people and cultures. Marseille’s also a place of striking contrasts: at the picturesque Vieux Port, not far from the iconic fishing boats are sleek pleasure craft. Dominating the harbor is the infamous Chateau d’If, the rocky prison from which Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo escaped. Marseille is also your gateway to Provence. Explore the countryside around Arles and Avignon, as immortalized by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso.

Sunday, October 11th

 Livorno (Florence & Pisa) - 7:00 am - 7:00 pm

 

Livorno is the coastal gateway to beautiful Tuscany, where you’ll find both fan-favorite Pisa and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Florence houses some of the world's greatest works of art, from masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Boticelli, plus Michelangelo's David and the Duomo, whose terrace offers breathtaking views of the city’s red-tiled roofs and narrow medieval lanes. Then there’s Pisa, Florence’s rival for political power and a brash, commercial seafaring town that once rivaled the great maritime powers Venice and Genoa. Of course you’ll visit the Leaning Tower, but don’t stop there. Palazzo Agostini houses 12th century remains of Pisa’s city walls, and Piazza dei Cavalieri was consistently the center of Pisan history.

Monday, October 12th

Civitavecchia (Rome) - 7:00 am - 8:00 pm


In ancient times it was said that all roads lead to Rome… but in your case, the seaport of Civitavecchia is your road to Rome. Get there and you’ll find out what made the place so popular. The Vatican's Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, the Colosseum with its lurid history, and the Trevi Fountain — where a tossed coin promises your return — are not to be missed on any visit to the so-called “Eternal City,” one of the cradles of civilization. Take a walking tour of Rome’s many historical landmarks and enjoy the lively sidewalk cafés, ending the day alla romana strolling through the atmospheric Centro Storico.

Tuesday, October 13th

Naples (Amalfi/Pompeil) - 7:00 am - 7:00 pm

 

Not just one of Italy’s oldest cities, but among the world’s oldest, Naples and its surrounding area has over thousands of years contributed innovations to not only the culinary and visual arts, but the development of everything from language to music. Today, you'll feel the friendly spirit of this sunny metropolis as you sample its historic sights, fabulous shopping galleria and irresistible cuisine. But don’t limit yourself to the city itself — Mount Vesuvius, the spectacular Amalfi Coast, and the romantic isle of Capri's famous Blue Grotto are all just a short distance away. The well-known, buried city of Pompeii is an archeological wonder, and not far from Naples.

Wednesday, October 14th - Fun Day At Sea

Sea Day

 

Fun at Sea

Thursday, October 15th -

Malta- 7:00 am - 4:00 pm

 

Malta’s the big sister, the largest island in a seven-strong archipelago just a stone’s throw from Europe… and not far at all from Africa. The island’s history began with the megalithic stone temples at Gozo, which may just be the oldest free-standing structures on Earth. Valletta is Malta’s capital, and its bustling streets are lined with superb Baroque buildings, palaces, gardens and churches. The city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and its nickname is Superbissima (“most proud”). Malta has two official languages: Maltese, the national language, and English. Malta was admitted to the European Union in 2004, and four years later became part of the Eurozone.
