Cruise for 7 days,  leaving from Seattle , WA , United States on Tuesday August 03, 2010 and returning to Seattle , WA , United States on Tuesday August 10, 2010.

This is the floating resort that ushered in the Spirit-class with innovations such as the two-level promenade and the reservations-only supper club. Her greater speed — and the fact that 80% of her staterooms have ocean views, and of those, 80% have balconies — make the Carnival Spirit the perfect ship for extra-special itineraries like Hawaii and Alaska. The Total Choice Dining, wide variety of onboard activities, and endless entertainment options complete a cruise experience like no other. Spend 7 days sailing through some of the most spectacular scenery on earth during this amazing Alaska cruise.*A donation of $50.00 per person to American Foundation Children with Aids is included in the above rates.

As your ship approaches Skagway, you’ll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley bordered by the Coast Mountains. The mountains, ranging from 5,000- to 7,000-ft. in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back over 100 years, when this idyllic native fishing village was overrun by hordes of prospectors. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the Alaskan Gold Rush days. Juneau, Alaska is considered by many to be the most beautiful capital city in the nation. Checking in at just a little over 3,100-square-miles, Juneau qualifies as the biggest American city – geographically, that is. The terrain is hilly and winding, and narrow streets present a small-town quaintness existing side-by-side with cosmopolitan sophistication. You’ll find great shopping, fine restaurants and superb museums. A popular destination along Alaska’s famed Inside Passage, Ketchikan is teeming with Native American culture. Home of the largest concentration of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian people in the state, this extraordinarily beautiful city on Revillagigedo Island boasts the world’s largest collection of totem poles, and an equally impressive selection of museums and cultural centers featuring Native dance, carvings and artifacts. Ketchikan’s calm waters and surprisingly gentle climate make it a favorite of sports fishermen.
