If you’re planning to cruise from Seattle, Miami or Mobile AB, you might have your eye cast on Carnival Cruises 88.5K ton ship, Carnival Spirit.
Carnival Spirit cruises typically sail around destinations in North and Central America, from Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Bahamas and the Panama Canal. And, we attended the Carnival Spirit launch party with an overnight cruise from Sydney in 2017. While no longer operating you can find other cruise ships in Australia with Carnival Cruises.
Their short cruises, typically lasting 6-10 days, make them an ideal choice for those looking for a short vacation where you have to do little planning – just sit back and enjoy the ride!

About Carnival Spirit
Carnival Spirit is a reasonably old ship for Carnival Cruise Lines, having been officiated in 2001, however it’s by no means tired or run-down. In fact, Carnival Spirit is as sophisticated and modern today as it was on her maiden voyage in April 2001.
This 12-deck vessel can carry 2124 passengers and 930 crew members, and can reach speeds of 22 knots per hour.
Carnival Spirit began offering cruises from San Diego and LA to Mexico, before switching it up to sail the Alaskan Passage from Vancouver or Seattle.
She then went on to sail Hawaiian cruises, as well as crossing the Pacific to Tahiti, Fiji, and for a brief time in 2012, to Sydney Australia and New Zealand. At the time, she was the first ship to be based permanently outside the USA from Carnival Cruise Lines, and went through a huge renovation before she sailed to Sydney.
From 2012-2016, she sailed exclusively around Australia and New Zealand.
From 2016-2020, she sailed between China and Australia. After COVID hit, she was shut down until 2022, when she returned the US and now sails the Caribbean, Bahamas, Alaska Passage and Panama Canal.
