And, following strong reception to a previously announced program from San Diego in 2019, Carnival Miracle will also return to the port for a winter 2020/21 schedule of three- to 15-day voyages.
West Coast cruise leader
These deployments further bolster Carnival's position as the West Coast cruise leader, carrying more passengers than any other line. That number will continue to increase with the debut of Carnival Panorama from Long Beach in December 2019.
With the addition of San Francisco, Carnival operates from 19 North American homeports, providing a convenient and cost-effective means for travelers to get to and from their cruises. Roughly half of the US population is within a five-hour drive of a Carnival homeport.
Inaugural San Francisco schedule
Carnival’s San Francisco program kicks off March 19, 2020, and will include four-day long weekend voyages to Ensenada departing Thursdays and returning Mondays throughout the spring and summer, as well as five-day and six-day cruises to Ensenada, Catalina Island and San Diego in the spring.
Carnival Miracle will also offer a summer schedule of 10-day Alaska cruises round-trip from San Francisco to destinations including Juneau, Skagway and Icy Strait Point as well as opportunities to visit Sitka and cruise Tracy Arm Fjord. There’s also a special one-time 11-day Alaska cruise departing Aug. 9, 2020.
Carnival Journeys
A 15-day 'Carnival Journeys' Hawaii cruise round-trip from San Francisco departs April 16, 2020, calling at Maui (Kahului), Honolulu, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai, as well as a stop in Ensenada.
Prior to its West Coast deployment, Carnival Miracle will offer a 17-day 'Carnival Journeys' Panama Canal transit March 2-19, 2020, stopping at Santa Marta and Cartagena, Colombia; Limón and Puntarenas, Costa Rica; Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala; and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Winter from San Diego
Carnival Miracle will operate a winter schedule of voyages from San Diego beginning Oct. 4, 2020. The program includes three-day getaways to Ensenada, four-day sailings to Ensenada and Catalina Island and five-day departures that spend two full days in the Mexican resort town of Cabo San Lucas.
Also offered are four 15-day 'Carnival Journeys' Hawaii cruises round-trip from San Diego departing Oct. 16 and Nov. 28, 2020, and Jan. 9 and Feb. 20, 2021. Ports include Hilo, Kona, Kauai (Nawiliwili), Maui (Kahului) and Honolulu, as well as stop in Ensenada.
