Carnival reveals updates for rebranded ships Carnival Adventure, Encounter
Carnival has unveiled a variety of onboard updates for rebranded Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter.
The two ships are transferring from P&O Cruises Australia and will begin sailing with Carnival Cruise Line from March 2025, following a two-week wet dock.
Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter will feature:
Carnival’s ‘Fun Squad’: The line’s onboard entertainment team will host comedy shows, deck parties and games.
Turtles Kids’ Club: A new childcare programme for children under two, offering arts and crafts, story time, dancing and sensory play.
Traditional Carnival activities such as Build-A-Bear workshops, the Conga for Kids line dance party and 1980s-themed Rock and Glow nights.
The rebranded ships will continue to feature a range of P&O Cruises Australia favourites, including the the Byron Beach Club; Edge Adventure Park; Luke Mangan’s specialty restaurant Luke’s Bar & Grill; Angelo’s and Dragon Lady; and the Blanc de Blanc show.
Once rebranded, Carnival Adventure will sail year-round from Sydney, joining sister ship Carnival Splendor.
Carnival Encounter will homeport in Brisbane year-round, with Carnival Luminosa joining during the summer season.
In 2025, Carnival expects to welcome 600,000 guests sailing from Sydney and Brisbane.
Kara Glamore, VP of sales and marketing at Carnival, said: “This transition presents a unique opportunity to combine the best of P&O Cruises Australia and Carnival Cruise Line as the brand expands its footprint in Australia.”
Glamore added: “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.”
