From the perfect short break close to home to longer holidays further ashore, there are many exciting destinations to discover with Carnival. Set sail from the ports of Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and each will take you to somewhere different—from the beautiful Kangaroo Island, Moreton Island and the Great Barrier Reef across Australia—to the white-sand beaches of the South Pacific islands, the natural wonders of New Zealand’s South Island and beyond.

Experience each destination fully on a Carnival Shore Excursion* with highlights such as kayaking and snorkelling the crystal-clear waters of Mystery Island in Vanuatu, to visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park in Indonesia.

Carnival cruise ships

Perfect for families, couples and groups of friends with a world of fun and delight at every turn, Carnival cruise ships are a destination in themselves. With sea days filled with an abundance of relaxation, delicious cuisine and entertainment for all ages, it's no wonder almost five million holiday-goers board a Carnival cruise ship each year.

Newest to the fleet, Carnival Adventure guest favourites include the all-weather family pool, twin racer waterslides, Luke’s Bar & Grill* from Aussie icon Luke Mangan, the headline performance of Blanc de Blanc Uncorked*, and the exclusive Byron Beach Club retreat for guests booked in Suites and selected Mini-Suites.
