Carnival Cruise Line has added a series of longer cruises that range from 13 day journeys through the Panama Canal to a 24 night sailing to Singapore, the cruise line’s longest cruise.
The 24-day voyage is the longest single departure in Carnival Cruise Line’s history and marks the first time that one of their cruise ships will visit Guam, Vietnam and Malaysia on a North American departure.
In addition to visiting some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, guests sailing on Carnival Journeys cruises enjoy unique on-board activities during which they can sample local cuisine and enjoy entertainment and cultural opportunities within the various ports of call. Activities focusing on topics such as photography, cooking, arts and crafts and celestial navigation, along with a 1980s-themed “Throwback Sea Day,” are also offered.

Is this a complete round trip back to Long Beach?
No Jim as the Splendor will go into refit and then will be heading to Australia (Sydney) where she will be home based from there
I am a platinum member with Carnival, so I love the fact that they are offering longer cruises. I just wish it was on a newer ship. I have sailed on the Vista and I am getting ready to sail on the Horizon, If I am going to be at sea that long, I want all the bells and whistles!
I guess Carnival forgot all about the 46/49 day cruise that the Splendour made in 2009 from Miami to Los Angeles/San Francisco around South America. It was a great cruise which we have wished would be repeated.
