Detailed answer
Carnival Miracle was built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Finland and made its first voyage, to the Bahamas, on Friday 27 February 2004. It is one of Carnival's Spirit class ships. Carnival gives a gross tonnage of 88,500, a length of 963 feet (about 294 metres), 2,134 guests and a crew of 934. Carnival says the ship takes you to another world, and its public rooms draw on fantasy and fiction, with venues such as the Phantom Lounge, Dr. Frankenstein's Lab and Nick & Nora's Steakhouse. There are also Guy's Burger Joint, the BlueIguana Cantina, the RedFrog Pub, the Punchliner Comedy Club, Carnival WaterWorks and the adults-only Serenity retreat. The ship was refitted at the Navantia yard in Cadiz in April and May 2025.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Only from Lisbon, earlier in the year. The call on Tuesday 9 November 2027 falls on a 15-night transatlantic voyage that leaves Civitavecchia, the port for Rome, on Friday 5 November 2027, calls at Cartagena, Malaga and Gibraltar, crosses to Hamilton in Bermuda and ends in Baltimore on Saturday 20 November 2027. Earlier in 2027 the ship crosses from Galveston to Lisbon and then sails a nine-night voyage from Lisbon to Dover from Thursday 20 May 2027. It spends the summer on nine to 12-night round trips from Dover, repositions to Civitavecchia from Sunday 19 September 2027 and sails eight to ten-night Mediterranean round trips from there in the autumn. Bookings are made through Carnival Cruise Line.
