Carnival Cruise Ship Strikes Ice in Alaska, Emerges Unscathed

The Carnival Spirit hit a piece of drifting ice in Tracy Arm Fjord but continued its voyage without damage or delays.

The Carnival Spirit encountered an errant piece of ice last Thursday while sailing in Alaska's Tracy Arm Fjord.
Passengers described the incident as a 'Titanic moment,' but the ship's hull was found to be undamaged after a thorough inspection.
The vessel completed its 7-day cruise as planned and has since embarked on a 14-day round-trip to Alaska.
Videos and images of the encounter were widely shared on social media, capturing the moment the ship made contact with the ice.
Alaska's waters are known for challenging navigation conditions, but cruise experts affirmed that modern ships are well-equipped to handle such environments.
