Carnival Cruise Line has released its latest program of Australian cruises featuring a new voyage through Asia on Carnival Spirit as well as more sailings from Melbourne on its popular Carnival Legend.
The new program offers 35 itineraries between April and December 2018, ranging from three-night short breaks at sea to longer voyages exploring the islands between Hawaii and Sydney.
A highlight of the just released schedule is a new journey through Asia on the 2600-guest Carnival Spirit following her dry dock in Singapore in May 2018.
Departing Singapore on June 6, 2018, Carnival Spirit’s 19-night return voyage to Sydney will give holidaymakers the chance to experience exotic ports in countries including Thailand and Indonesia before visiting Darwin and Port Douglas and making Carnival’s inaugural call to Gladstone, on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, en-route to Sydney. Fares start from $2449* per person twin share.
