According to a press release, the two Spirit-class vessels will offer different itineraries departing from Seattle.
A third ship will offer cruises to Alaska and Canada, departing from San Francisco in 2026, with additional details and itineraries to be revealed this fall, the company added.
Repositioning from Tampa, the Carnival Miracle starts its summer program on April 27, 2026.

Sailing from Seattle every Thursday, the cruises sail to the Tracy Arm Fjord and include visits to Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, as well as Victoria.
