Exciting News! P&O Cruises has joined the Carnival family. Enjoy the same incredible experiences with even more destinations, ships, and exclusive perks!

Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Adventure epitomises that unique Aussie holiday style that makes this homegrown cruise line so popular. Family-friendly activities, sunny outdoor spaces, stylish restaurants and an exclusive beach club promise the holiday of a lifetime. 

The good times start on the top deck, where you’ll find the 135m Twin Racer waterslides. Looping out over the sides of the ship, you can challenge your friends and family to see who makes it down in the fastest time. This whole area is a family fun zone, with lawn bowls, games and the P&O Edge Adventure Park, Australia’s largest adventure park at sea. Adrenaline pumping activities include rock climbing, flying fox, slackline surfing and walk the plank. 

When you need a little break from the family fun, send the kids to the kids’ clubs and head for The Oasis. This adults’ only retreat looks over the wake at the back of the ship and has a quiet pool, deck chairs and a cocktail bar. The chic Byron Beach Club is another tranquil spot. Exclusively for guests staying in suites and select mini-suites, you can relax on a comfy lounge, swim in the pool, soak in the hot tubs and order food from Luke’s Burger Bar or the Pizzeria. 

Aussie vibes continue in the chic dining venues. Included in your fare are the Waterfront main dining room and the innovative The Pantry food court concept that replaces the traditional buffet. Signature restaurants offer global flavours, like Pan Asian cuisine at Dragon Lady and upscale Italian at Angelo’s, while celebrity chef Luke Mangan is behind the elegant Luke’s Bar and Grill and laid-back Luke’s Burger Bar. The Lobby is a relaxed all-day hangout space in the centre of the ship with three venues for snacks, sweet treats, coffee and cocktails. 

Carnival Adventure carries more than 2,600 passengers on each cruise and there’s a cabin type to suit all of them. Interior, oceanview and balcony staterooms come with lots of bedding configurations for couples, families and groups. Or splash out on a mini-suite or suite for lots of space, breezy balconies, walk in wardrobes and priority access to services during your voyage. 

Homeported in Sydney year-round, Carnival Adventure is always packed with Australian cruisers looking for local fun in the sun, a winter break away or quirky themed cruises. It regularly visits ports along the Australian east coast, and in the South Pacific, New Zealand and Asia.
