Carnival Alaska Cruises Add New Alaska-Themed Activities this Year
For 2017, Carnival Alaska cruises offer a number of new Alaska-themed activities and programming to make this Alaska cruise season even more special and memorable. Carnival’s 2017 Alaska season has just begun and runs through September. Seven-day cruises depart from Seattle aboard Carnival Legend.
New activities include a Frontier Festival deck party with parlor games, ice carving demonstrations and an Alaska-themed photo booth. Plus there’ll be trivia games, the Carnival Gold Bar tower game, and Gold Rush bingo where the winners pan for gold in search of the $750 grand prize.
Carnival’s Creative Cove arts classes give guests an opportunity to create their own paintings featuring iconic Alaska scenes like a whale tail in a moonlit ocean, an abstract of the famous Northern Lights and more. Many of the activities are hosted by crew members dressed as historical figures from the Gold Rush and Klondike eras.
