Carnival Spirit

The Carnival Spirit is more than just a ship - it's an unforgettable vacation experience that you'll remember for a long time. Whether you're looking for action or just want to relax, this ship has everything you need. There's heaps of fun for everyone: kids, adults, and the whole family. Onboard, you'll find mini-golf, a two-deck fitness center, a jogging track, an adult-only retreat called Serenity, pools, a spa, and much more.

You can enjoy a three-course meal at the Empire Restaurant or build a casual meal of your choice at the Lido Restaurant. For something special, there's the Steakhouse, and for quick bites, there's the RedFrog® Pub, Guy’s Burger Joint, and BlueIguana Cantina™. At night, you can still get soft-serve ice cream (until midnight) or pizza (until 4 a.m.)!

When the sun sets, the fun isn't over. The Carnival Spirit features bars, lounges, and entertainment like live comedy and music. You can even try your luck at the casino.

The Carnival Spirit invites you to experience a fantastic vacation and hopes you'll come back!
