Carnival Cruise Line expanded the "Carnival Journeys" enrichment series with an additional 13 cruises that last 12 to 14 days and will sail in 2018 and 2019. The new voyages add to the previously announced nine- to 15-day Carnival Journeys cruises departing in this year and next.
Passengers sailing on Carnival Journeys voyages sample regional cuisine and enjoy entertainment and cultural opportunities at the various ports of call. Activities focus on a broad range of topics -- everything from photography and cooking to arts and crafts and social media -- along with a 1980s-themed "Throwback Sea Day."
"Our Carnival Journeys cruises have proven enormously popular with guests who enjoy both unforgettable landside experiences and one-of-a-kind onboard enrichment activities that this unique program offers," said Carnival President Christine Duffy. "We're thrilled to expand Carnival Journeys with these 13 new voyages that showcase some of the world's most captivating destinations."
