Carnival Partnerships
At Carnival Cruise Line, every cruise holiday should leave a positive impact. That's why Carnival works alongside charities, community organisations and iconic Australian events to create meaningful experiences both onboard and ashore.
From children's charities and iconic events to sporting organisations and family attractions, our partnerships help extend the Carnival experience beyond our ships and into the communities we serve.
