With 207 cruises<\/strong> (a 99% increase from the 2024\/25 season!) and the addition of two new ships<\/strong> – Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter – our newest cruise season offers guests more fun than ever before. Read on for all the 2026 \u2013 2027 cruise season highlights and a healthy dose of inspiration for your next holiday!<\/p>\n

More ships\"\"<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re excited to welcome two additional ships to the Carnival family in March 2025 when sister cruise line, P&O Cruises Australia\u2019s Pacific Adventure\u00ae and Pacific Encounter\u00ae join the fleet. The\u00a0addition of Carnival Adventure\u2122 and Carnival Encounter\u2122 will see Carnival\u2019s fleet grow to four ships, offering guests even more choices for unforgettable holidays at sea.<\/p>\n

Carnival Adventure will join Carnival Splendor sailing from Sydney, and Carnival Encounter will join Carnival Luminosa offering unforgettable cruise holidays from Brisbane.<\/p>\n

\"\"More Short Getaways<\/h3>\n

In response to the growing popularity of short getaways, we\u2019ve expanded our selection of two-to-four-night cruises<\/a>.<\/strong> Getaway cruises are the perfect way to sample the Carnival cruise experience because guests can enjoy all the fun and excitement of a full-sized holiday in just a few days.<\/p>\n

With 78 short getaways from Sydney and 43 from Brisbane, plus a range of different cruise options including some that visit unforgettable destinations like Moreton Island and Airlie Beach, there\u2019s never been a better reason to treat yourself to a short getaway.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"More Fan-Favourites<\/h3>\n

Our 2026 \u2013 2027 cruise season also features more fan-favourites, best sellers, and more of our most popular destinations such as Moreton Island, the South Pacific, the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand. And for those who want to explore further afield, we\u2019ve also got cruises visiting Fiji and Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re searching for a short getaway, hoping for a longer holiday, or seeking some South Pacific serenity, our 2026 \u2013 2027 cruise season has you covered.<\/p>\n
