CARNIVAL Cruise Line’s Carnival Luminosa (pictured) has returned for her fourth season in Queensland, as the ship kicks off her 2025/26 Brisbane program.
Luminosa will welcome more than 70,000 fun-seeking passengers on 27 voyages between Nov and Apr.
She will make more than 80 port calls over the season, including nine to Airlie Beach, four to Cairns, and a further three to Port Douglas, alongside a range of South Pacific, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji voyages.
Luminosa will sail alongside sister ship Carnival Encounter, which operates year-round from Brisbane, with the two vessels forecasted to carry more than 230,000 guests from the Queensland capital this year.
Carnival’s four-ship Australian fleet is collectively expected to contribute almost $800 million to the state’s economy.
“Queensland is at the heart of Carnival Cruise Line’s growth in Australia, and we’re proud to once again home port Carnival Luminosa in Brisbane,” Assistant Vice President Sale & Marketing Anton Loeb said.
“Each season, more Queenslanders are discovering how easy and fun it is to set sail straight from their doorstep.
“We’re excited to welcome Luminosa back for another incredible summer of cruising and can’t wait to deliver more unforgettable holidays from Brisbane,” he added. MS
