MIAMI, Jan. 15, 2025 – Carnival Cruise Line unveiled four new Carnival Journeys Asia-Pacific sailings on Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Adventure.

Carnival Luminosa’s newly announced cruises for 2026 include:

- 14-day journey from Singapore to Brisbane: Departing Nov. 30, 2026, guests will visit Bali; Darwin, Cairns, and Airlie Beach, Australia.
Carnival Adventure is set to take guests on two distinctive voyages in 2027:
- 14-day cruise from Sydney to Singapore: Departing Jan. 27, 2027, guests will visit Airlie Beach and Darwin, Australia; Bali and Lombok, Indonesia.
- Nine-day Southeast Asia cruise, round-trip from Singapore: Departing Feb. 27, 2027, this sailing features more first-time visits for Carnival, including Koh Samui and Laem Chabang (Bangkok) in Thailand, as well as Sihanoukville in Cambodia. The sailing also visits Phy My (Ho Chi Minh) in Vietnam.
"These new itineraries represent some of our most exotic and diverse offerings in the Asia-Pacific region. With our expanded deployment in Australia, we’re able to offer our guests itineraries with more variety along with the Carnival experience they know and love – and this includes the rare experience of sailing with our ships as they mark inaugural visits to several ports and countries across the region,” said Fred Stein, vice president of itinerary planning for Carnival Cruise Line.
Sailings on Carnival Luminosa are booked through Carnival Cruise Line, while sailings on Carnival Adventure are currently booked through P&O Cruises Australia, but will be available on Carnival.com starting in March.
