Reasons to Book
Some take vacation… and some take their vacation further. Carnival Journeys is a limited series of special sailings made for the kind of cruiser who’s looking to get some truly unique travel experiences under their belt, ones perfect for sharing. (Think of the photos — and the postcards!)
You’ll find the Carnival Journeys difference aboard and ashore. Whether you’re heading to great spots in Hawaii, New Zealand or the Caribbean — or setting out for a Transatlantic voyage, a Panama Canal crossing or sailing the islands of the South Pacific — the destinations are top notch… just like the unique and enriching onboard experiences!
Learn more about the elements that go into unique Carnival Journeys vacations.
Destinations
If you hear “vacation” and think “where to?” you’re what we’d call a destination person. And destination folks, take note: a Carnival Journeys cruise is the one for you. On these unique longer voyages, you can make your way to great spots while enjoying all the comfort — and fun times — of a Carnival cruise. We’ve found some less traveled routes to fun best revealed by the leisurely pace of a Carnival Journeys voyage, so expect your vacation to be more than just great… but delightfully different.

Academy of Fun
A mind forever voyaging brings its bearer infinite returns. What we’re saying is, give your mind a little treat — take it on a Carnival Journeys cruise! Since a relaxing vacation doesn’t have to mean switching off completely, Carnival Journeys includes all-expenses-paid scholarship to the Academy of Fun, an enriching series of onboard courses designed to help expand your horizons. Look beyond the horizon and see stars as one of the ship’s officers walks you through the historical art and science of celestial navigation — how mariners navigated the seas long before radar and GPS. For something more twenty-first century, try a #fun class in social media, or a photography 101 course that’ll teach you how to take photos beyond just pointing and shooting. (These are just a few of the courses we’ve offered in the past, but you never know what we’ll be offering on your Carnival Journeys cruise!)
Crew Connections
Cruise on a Carnival ship without its staff of hundreds and… well, you’d be pretty busy! From our experienced officers to our friendly and accommodating staff and crew, they do what they do to make every Carnival cruise the comfy, relaxing, fun vacation that it is. And a Carnival Journeys cruise means even more of this. From dining to entertainment, housekeeping to mechanical, Carnival Journeys provides extra opportunities for guests to connect with the staff and gain deeper insight into what life aboard a Carnival ship is really like. Everybody’s got a favourite port of call… even the captain. So don’t be shy — just ask them!
