QUEENSLAND GETS ITS PASSPORT TO FUN WITH CARNIVAL LUMINOSA’S 2022-24 PROGRAM

Carnival Luminosa

In exciting news for Queensland cruise fans, Carnival Cruise Line has today revealed its first-ever Brisbane program with 59 sailings departing from the Sunshine State from November 2022 to April 2024.

 
Sailing on board the latest addition to the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, Carnival Luminosa, guests will have the opportunity to discover the brighter side of cruising with a ship packed with natural light, plus hospitality and fun that’s pure, unmistakable Carnival.

Carnival Luminosa will be the latest in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet to be adorned with the stunning new livery that was introduced on Mardi Gras in 2021 and has been added to half the Carnival fleet, with the red, white and blue hues long associated with Carnival Cruise Line. The ship will also boast a vintage funnel design reminiscent of the funnels on Carnival’s original ships like Mardi Gras, Carnivale and Festivale.

Carnival Luminosa will also be home to many of the activities and experiences from other Carnival ships that guests have come to know and love as well as some new spaces. Featuring guest favourites from entertainment, youth, and spa to bars and dining, offerings will include Playlist Productions, The Punchliner Comedy Club, Limelight Lounge, Piano Bar 88, Alchemy Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Chef’s Table, Bonsai Sushi Express, Seaday Brunch, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, and Cloud 9 Spa, among others.

Itineraries for inaugural season

Kicking off guest operations in Brisbane, Carnival Luminosa will visit a range of stunning destinations across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Among the incredible program, highlights include ten visits to the Great Barrier Reef and an 11-day cruise visiting Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and New Zealand’s picturesque Fjordland National Park.

Guests will also have the opportunity to embark on a globetrotting 22-day Transpacific Journey sailing when Luminosa heads to Seattle via the South Pacific and Honolulu in April 2023. After her season in Seattle, Carnival Luminosa will return to the Sunshine State for more fun later in 2023.

On the program release, Carnival Cruise Line Vice President Kara Glamore said: “As our first-ever Brisbane program, it was extremely important for us to deliver a host of itineraries that would appeal to Queenslanders. That’s why this program over delivers on the sun, sand, and smiles with a fantastic array of coastal adventures for our guests to enjoy. Our guests can expect fresh, new fun once Luminosa arrives and we can’t wait to bring her into the family.”
