You might recognise the ships of Carnival Cruise Line for their bright red whale-fin funnel and appreciate their family-oriented fun-filled reputation. But did you know the cruise line has a fleet of 26 ships across the globe? There are two ships regularly based in Australia –Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa – and a new ship joining the world-wide fleet in 2024.  

With Carnival, the holiday begins as soon as you step onboard, with a tremendous amount of included activities and entertainment. Made for adventurous couples and fun-seeking families, passengers can discover pools and waterslides, sport and games, dive-in movies, the Cloud 9 Spa, comedy shows, nightclubs and the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss with Seuss at Sea. For some down time, adults can escape to the exclusive Serenity Retreat. As an international cruise line, the cuisine is diverse and delicious – guests can tuck into breakfast burritos, classic burgers, an Indian curry and even try alligator fritters on the ‘rare finds’ menu.  

Carnival cruise deals offer great value and take thrill-seeking travellers to exotic destinations like the South Pacific, the Caribbean and Mexico; through the elegant ports of Europe; and into the rugged natural beauty of Canada and Alaska. Once ashore, passengers can enjoy excursions like snorkelling, hiking, city tours, wine tasting, visits to historic sites and much more.
