Debut Winter Program in Mobile Concluded by Carnival Spirit

The Carnival Spirit recently completed its inaugural winter season operating from Mobile, Alabama. At the close of this season, the ship left its Alabama base earlier this month and traveled to Tampa. From there, it embarked on a repositioning cruise headed for the West Coast.

The vessel is set to spend the next cruise season exploring the scenic regions of Alaska and Canada, starting with a 16-night trans-Canal journey that began on April 7.

This one-way cruise from the Gulf Coast to Seattle includes a complete passage through the Panama Canal and stops in Grand Cayman, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

Since its arrival in Mobile in October 2023, the Carnival Spirit has conducted a variety of six- to eight-night cruises targeting the Bahamas and the Caribbean. These itineraries included stops at several popular locations, such as Bimini, Nassau, and Half Moon Cay—a private destination owned by Carnival Corporation in the Bahamas. 

The ship also ventured to Western Caribbean destinations, calling at ports like Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize City, and Mahogany Bay in Mexico, Belize, and Honduras respectively.

After its stint on the West Coast, the Carnival Spirit is slated to return to Mobile in late October 2025 to begin another winter season. The forthcoming program will offer six- to 12-night cruises featuring destinations across the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Central America, and Florida, with ports of call including Aruba, Grand Turk, Jamaica, Freeport, and Key West.

Additionally, before making its way back to Alabama, the ship will conduct a series of week-long cruises to Alaska. These cruises will include stops at well-known northern ports such as Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria in Canada.

The Carnival Spirit, launched in 2001, serves as the lead ship in the Spirit Class, which includes four vessels, each designed to accommodate 2,100 guests.
