The Ship
Your home for all 16 nights aboard Carnival Spirit — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 16 Night Panama Canal is a 16-night one-way itinerary aboard Carnival Spirit. You board in Seattle and disembark in Galveston, calling at 6 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Washington (Seattle), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas), Costa Rica (Puntarenas), Colombia (Cartagena) and Texas (Galveston).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Seattle and home from Galveston, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 11 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
