Carnival Splendor, Carnival Cruise Line’s Sydney-based vessel, is on its way to Singapore for a dry dock upgrade. The cruise ship will return to Sydney on 9 September with refurbished spaces, updated amenities and what the cruise line says will be exciting new features.
CCL says passengers can expect new dining options, more amenities and enhanced experiences for both kids and adults.
Carnival Splendor will arrive in Singapore on 5 August and stay in dry dock for nearly three weeks before heading back to Sydney on 24 August.
Homeported in Sydney since 2019, Carnival Splendor is the largest cruise ship sailing year-round from Australia. It joined the Carnival fleet in 2007, had its inaugural sailing in 2008 and was last refurbished in 2019.
Bookings for Carnival Splendor are available through 2026, covering destinations in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Visit Carnival Cruise Line for more information.
In June, Carnival Corporation revealed a major change to its operations in Australia and the South Pacific, announcing that the P&O Cruises Australia brand will be merged into Carnival Cruise Line in March 2025. Read our interview with Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy, who moved to allay fears that the merging of the famous brand into CCL would see an end to P&O-like cruising for Australians.
Karryon also recently spoke to Peter Little, Chair of CLIA Australasia, and Carnival Cruise Line’s SVP and Country Manager, about the ever-evolving cruise industry, juggling two of the most high-profile roles in cruise and why sailing into Sydney never fails to thrill.
