History
AI-generatedCarnival Spirit is a Spirit-class cruise ship built by Kværner Masa-Yards in Helsinki and delivered to Carnival Cruise Line in 2001, becoming the first Spirit-class vessel in the cruise line's fleet. The ship was formally named by American politician Elizabeth Dole in Miami. Carnival Spirit marked a significant milestone for the cruise line when she arrived in Sydney, Australia, becoming the first Carnival ship to be permanently based outside North America, after undergoing renovations including installation of Australian-style power points and conversion to Australian dollar currency.
