Inspiration
Fantasy Class

Launched in 1996, Inspiration is one of the newer additions Carnival’s Fantasy class. It measures 855 feet in length, weighs 70,000 tons, is capable of hosting 2,056 passengers, and is structurally identical to its six sister ships. It’s also similar in atmosphere; as one of Carnival’s signature “Fun Ships,” Inspiration is geared toward the active traveler in search of a rocking good time; families and couples of all ages cavort in the ship’s many pools, restaurants, bars, and lounges, packing as much entertainment as possible into their time on board.

A packed schedule of entertainment greets Inspiration's passengers on each day of a cruise; comedy acts, art auctions, talent shows, Vegas-style revues, piano-bar sing-alongs, and pool games fill the waking hours aboard this lively ship. Carnival’s newly-improved cuisine fuels the fire, and the friendly staff encourages passengers to let loose.
 

Shoppers delight in the Galleria Shopping Mall; exercise and wellness fanatics rave about the well-appointed fitness center and spa; and children love the high-energy Camp Carnival kids programs. The Monte Carlo Casino is home to a profusion of slot machines and blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps tables.
 

Couples of all ages—with children or without—make up the bulk of the passenger complement. For everyone from 20-somethings through retirees, Inspiration lives up to its name. Family reunions are commonplace aboard this ship, as are church groups and friends re-uniting for a yearly vacation together. Everyone gets into the spirit of the party; by the end of the cruise, even the most hardened quiet type is sure to find him or herself dancing at the poolside bar, rolling dice on the craps table, or belly-laughing at a comedian in the Paris Lounge.
