| Carnival to set sail from Aus to Asia

CARNIVAL Cruise Line is setting sail for Asia from Australia for the first time, on board Carnival Adventure and Carnival Luminosa, with voyages on sale now.

Offering two itineraries in 2027, Adventure will explore Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam – new destinations for Carnival.

The program includes a Sydney to Singapore voyage, stopping in Indonesia, and a round-trip cruise from Singapore.

Luminosa will introduce a 14-day voyage in 2026, sailing from Tokyo to Singapore, which will visit Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam.

The ship will also sail on a 14-day voyage from Singapore to Brisbane via Bali and Darwin.

Vice President Sales & Marketing Kara Glamore expressed her excitement in setting sail from Australia to Asia for the first time.

“These itineraries mark a new chapter in cruising for Carnival, just as we prepare to embark on an exciting expansion to four ships in Australia, when P&O’s Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter join the Carnival family in Mar,” she said.

“This is going to give Australians a new, affordable and thrilling way to visit multiple destinations across Asia, all while enjoying the unparalleled fun of a Carnival cruise,” Glamore enthused.

“Asia has bustling cities, breathtaking scenery, ancient temples, and world-famous beaches, and we can’t wait for our guests to explore this magical part of the world.” MS
