After being delayed due to the pandemic, Carnival Cruise Line is ready to set sail from its newest homeport: San Francisco. The 2,124-guest Carnival Miracle will depart from the West Coast port during the spring and summer of 2022, marking the first time the line has ever sailed from the destination.
“After years of anticipation, Carnival Cruise Line is thrilled to be sailing out of the Port of San Francisco for the first time,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “We’re proud to join the San Francisco community, support the revival of the tourism economy, and open up exciting travel options to beautiful destinations for those living in and visiting the Bay Area.”
As an expansion of its West Coast offerings — which include year-round departures from Long Beach, Calif. in the southern part of the state — Carnival says it will sail more guests from California than any other operator. The 11 itineraries departing from San Francisco this year include 10-day departures with stops in Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway and Icy Strait Point in Alaska, as well as Victoria in British Columbia. There will also be four- and five-day Baja Mexico cruises available, in addition to a special 15-day Carnival Journeys voyage to Hawaii on Sept. 15, 2022.
We’re proud to join the San Francisco community, support the revival of the tourism economy, and open up exciting travel options to beautiful destinations for those living in and visiting the Bay Area.
“The Port of San Francisco is proud to welcome Carnival Miracle to its new homeport at the J.R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27,” said Elaine Forbes, executive director of the Port of San Francisco. “Carnival Miracle will set sail on 19 voyages from the Port of San Francisco, drawing thousands of passengers and crew to our city helping to drive the economic recovery of the waterfront. Each cruise call at the Port of San Francisco supports the network of mostly small and family-owned business that have made Fisherman’s Wharf, the Embarcadero and all corners of our 7.5 miles of property internationally renowned.”
With Carnival Spirit and Carnival Splendor also sailing from Seattle to Alaska this season, Carnival will deploy a total of three ships to The Last Frontier in 2022.
