The pacing runs to 6 port days and 11 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

Your home for all 15 nights aboard Carnival Luminosa — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 15 Night Alaska & Japan Transpacific is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Carnival Luminosa. You board in San Francisco and disembark in Tokyo, calling at 6 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in California (San Francisco), Alaska (Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point) and Japan (Otaru, Aomori, Tokyo).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into San Francisco and home from Tokyo, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 11 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
