In a nutshell... we're all about fun vacations at sea and ashore! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos and more. (Like what? Like waterslides!) We invite our guests to come as they are, and we make everyone feel right at home with comfy staterooms, attentive service, casual and elegant dining, plus a variety of bars and gathering places indoors and out. Guests enjoy this unique experience against the backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful seaports.
Our 27 ships operate 3- to 24-day voyages, departing from every coast in the U.S., as well as Canada, Puerto Rico and Barbados. While we're best known for Caribbean cruises, we sail to other exotic and amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe, Hawaii and the Far East. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line Australia now has two ships, and offers cruises from Sydney and Brisbane to New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Repositioning cruises to the USA.
Carnival Cruise Line proudly supports important causes like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Setting sail in November, Carnival Luminosa is new to the Carnival fleet! This ship comes to us courtesy of our sister line Costa Cruises, and there’s so much fun that’s coming along with it.
Guests setting sail on Carnival Luminosa can expect hospitality and fun that's pure, unmistakable Carnival, with so many fan-favorite onboard features like the flavors of Alchemy Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse and RedFrog Rum Bar; the entertainment of Playlist Productions, Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner Comedy Club; plus the relaxation of Cloud 9 Spa and Serenity. And when you’re indoors, you can still expect great views and lots of natural light - the ship was built with plenty of windows.
Thanks, Costa! ✌
So when you choose to sail on Carnival Luminosa, can we just say... great choice! There’s just one more decision to make: is Australia or Alaska more your cruising style? We ask because this world-traveling ship will kick things off with a season of sailings from Australia with plenty of itinerary options... before heading to Seattle in 2023 for a summer of Alaska cruises. Then it's back Down Under for more fun. And when the ship’s heading from one region to the other, we take the opportunity to sail unique Transpacific itineraries that stop in spots like Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Japan and more. So, what we’re saying is... with scenery like this, you’re gonna put those windows to good use!
