Norwegian Spirit 2026 Review: Alaska, Hawaii and a Hurricane

A review of Norwegian Spirit. Ben reviews a 16-night Norwegian Spirit cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu, combining Alaska, five sea days, and Hawaii. We cover the renovated ship, his balcony cabin, dining, entertainment, casino, thermal spa, and what it's like spending more than two weeks aboard Norwegian Spirit. Ben also shares his experiences in Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Haines, Maui, and Kauai, including seeing bears in Alaska and exploring Hawaii. Plus, the cruise takes an unexpected turn when a tropical storm threatens Hawaii, forcing Norwegian Spirit to change plans, return to Honolulu early, head back out to sea, and ultimately extend the cruise by an extra night.
