The name says it all - Spirit. Catch the spirit of the Klondike gold seekers, the Native Indians, and the pioneer settlers on this seven-day journey through Alaska. The Carnival Spirit departs for memorable, roundtrip cruises through Alaska's famed Inside Passage. You'll find glaciers, great service, and good times on this seaside expedition.

Your cruise departs from Vancouver B.C., a city that resembles Seattle more than its Canadian neighbors to the east. If you arrive a day or so early, you'll have a chance to explore Vancouver's picturesque waterfront, ride the tram to Grouse Mountain, and explore its world famous Chinatown.

The first full day of your cruise finds you in the tranquil seas of the Inside Passage. Listen to the ripple of the waves as you travel north to Juneau, Alaska's state capital. Experience the Gold Rush, walk on top of a giant glacier, or take a kayaking adventure. Juneau has it all, and reindeer sausage and moose burgers to boot! But Glacier Bay may be your personal highlight, with its vast wilderness crawling with glaciers, icebergs, fjords, and wildlife including whales, bears, and moose.

After a day at sea, you'll be ready to hit the docks of Skagway. Walk in the footsteps of author Jack London and many other prospectors who stopped here en route to the Yukon in search of gold. Then get back onboard for your next port visit: Ketchikan, the totem pole and salmon capital before your early morning arrival back at Vancouver.
