Carnival Miracle
“Spirit-class comfort split between Texas-sized Caribbean fun and Alaska's Inside Passage.”
Carnival Miracle is the third ship in Carnival's Spirit class, delivered in 2004 and recently refreshed with a fleet-wide refurbishment. She joins Carnival's four-ship Galveston lineup for year-round Western Caribbean and Panama Canal itineraries, before repositioning each spring for a summer season of 7-night Alaska Inside Passage cruises from Seattle, calling at Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Her refresh added Bonsai Sushi Express, Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, and the RedFrog Pub, alongside her long-standing Nick & Nora's Steakhouse and the Paris Opera House-themed Phantom Main Show Lounge. That mix of a convenient Gulf Coast homeport most of the year and a scenic Alaska season each summer makes Miracle one of the most geographically varied ships in the Carnival fleet.
Miracle is one of just a couple of Carnival ships that regularly trade the Caribbean for Alaska, repositioning north each summer to sail the Inside Passage before returning to Texas for the winter Western Caribbean season.
