The Carnival Spirit is the lead Spirit class cruise ship for Carnival Cruise Lines. She was the first "Fun Ship" to sail to Alaska and Hawaii.
Itineraries
During the Summer months, starting in mid-May and ending in September, the Carnival Spirit sails the waters off Alaska, stopping in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, cruising the Lynn Canal, Prince William Sound, and visiting several glaciers. It alternates between a one week northbound and southbound voyage calling Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and Whittier, Alaska home. During the first and last weeks of the summer it travels a modified Glacier Bay voyage which starts and ends in Vancouver.
During late September and October, the Carnival Spirit sails the Hawaiian, Islands. These 12 day cruises visit such ports as Maui, Kona, Hilo, and Kauai. Hawaii is often the stopping point between the summer Alaskan cruises and the winter Mexican Riviera cruises.
Finally, during the winter months, the Carinval Spirit travels down the Mexican Riviera visiting Acapulco, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa and Manzanillo. It begins and ends its cruises in San Diego, California.
