MIAMI, Feb. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing the
expansion of its popular Carnival Journeys longer duration
enrichment sailings, Carnival Splendor will offer a 14-day Alaskan
adventure round-trip from Long Beach,
Calif., featuring awe-inspiring sites such as majestic
Hubbard Glacier and a day-long visit to Icy Strait Point, an
