Carnival Cruise Line to Double Ships in Australia in 2025
17.12.2024 - 21:25 / travelpulse.com / Lacey Pfalz
Carnival Cruise Line announced it would be adding two more ships to its fleet in Australia with the addition of P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter ships, which will be rebranded as Carnival ships to double the opportunities for travelers to enjoy cruises in Australia beginning March 2025.
The two ships will be rebranded and renamed the Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter following a two-week wet dock period in March. The Carnival Adventure will sail year-round from Sydney along with the Carnival Splendor, while the Carnival Encounter will sail year-round from Brisbane. The Carnival Luminosa will also port from Brisbane for the summer season next year.
Both ships will retain P&O dining and entertainment favorites, like the Byron Beach Club and Luke’s Bar & Grill, while also adding Carnival’s “Fun Ship” experiences. New experiences will include the cruise line’s Fun Squad, who will entertain and run fun games for all ages, the Turtles Kids Club for children under two, free daily pizza and Carnival activities like 80s-themed Rock and Glow nights.
Travelers can still book the two ships on P&O Cruises’ website. The rebranding of the ships comes after June's announcement that P&O Cruises Australia would be shutting down in March 2025. Since it's owned by Carnival Corporation & plc, an agreement has led to the cruise line's absorption into Carnival Cruise Line.
“Carnival Cruise Line remains the only cruise line globally to demonstrate this level of commitment to Australia, sailing year-round and supporting thousands of local jobs while delivering unforgettable holiday experiences in Australia and the South Pacific,” said VP Sales and Marketing Kara Glamore.

9 European Exhibitions Worth Traveling for in 2025
Note the exclamation mark in the title: “Leigh Bowery!” at Tate Modern (Feb. 27 through Aug. 31) is the first large-scale exhibition to present the multidisciplinary output that was the work and too-short-life of the boy from suburban Sunshine, Australia, who out-weirded the colorful 1980s London club scene. Bowery is best known for his fabulously outré costumes: oversized bulging eyes and painted smiles, wigs of inflated spikes, bedazzled masks, baroque bustiers, sky-high platforms, PVC, bondage gear, tulle, feathers … You name it, he wore it.
