The Spirit Class is a class of cruise ships built at the Helsinki New Shipyard in Helsinki, Finland for Carnival Cruise Lines and her subsidiary Costa Cruises. The ships are built to the Panamax form factor, allowing them to pass through the Panama canal.

Holland America's Vista Class ships, Cunard's upcoming newbuild MS Queen Victoria and P&O's Arcadia also share a similar design with Spirit Class ships.
