Carnival Cruise Line has revealed a range of onboard updates for Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter.
The two ships are transferring from P&O Cruises Australia but will remain Down Under sailing with Carnival from March 2025, following a two-week wet dock.
Adventure and 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 exclusive retreat Byron Beach Club; Edge Adventure Park; Luke Mangan’s specialty restaurant Luke’s Bar & Grill; dining options 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 her during the summer season.
