“Carnival is sailing from five homeports in Australia and New Zealand in 2027/28 and we remain the only global cruise line committed to sailing in this region year-round,” Carnival Corporation & plc Country Manager Peter Little said.
“Carnival Cruise Line has answered the call from our interstate and New Zealand guests who’ve been asking for more opportunities to book a convenient and great value cruise holiday, and we’re delighted to be offering voyages from Adelaide, Melbourne and Auckland as well as our traditional ports of Sydney and Brisbane.”
The voyages are expected to be in high demand with multi-generational families and groups of friends, who can spend precious time together through a fun, convenient holiday onboard a cruise ship.
Adelaide grandmother and Carnival Cruise Line fan Shirley Van Hout said, “When I heard the news, I was ecstatic. It’s about time Adelaide has a cruise ship because it means easier access. What’s good about cruise is everything is under one roof.”
Carnival Adventure will be homeporting in Adelaide, Melbourne and Auckland, as well as Sydney. Carnival Splendor will continue to homeport year-round in Sydney, while Carnival Encounter will be based year-round in Brisbane and will be joined by Carnival Luminosa in the summer.
