Canal Crossing – Cartagena & Cabo

About this cruise

If you've got 16 nights to work with, this sailing from Mobile on April 12, 2026 through Cartagena, Panama Canal, Puntarenas, Cabo San Lucas and Seattle is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You finish in Seattle. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and United States. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Cabo San Lucas alone is worth the trip, Where the desert kisses the sea. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Spirit takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
