Carnival Cruise Line has celebrated 10 years of providing fun-filled Aussie cruising holidays just two weeks after returning to service Down Under with shipshape celebrations aboard Carnival Splendor in Tangalooma, Moreton Island.
Carnival Splendor passengers were treated to onboard and offshore celebrations to mark the occasion, including beach games on the sand, Carnival cupcakes and a giant ’10 Years in Australia’ sand sculpture, before returning to the ship to journey home to Sydney.
Carnival also hosted a special lunch for key trade partners as thanks for their ongoing support. Bringing the best of Carnival Splendor to the shore, guests were treated to ‘Green Lightning’ cocktails, famous theme night elements, including ’80s RocknGlow’, ‘Island Night’ and the all-new ‘Outback Country Night, plus music, games and prizes.
Carnival Cruise Line also donated a seven-night, South Pacific cruise aboard Carnival Luminosa to the Children’s Hospital Foundation in Queensland to gift to a family in need of a holiday.
First arriving Down Under in October 2012, more than one million guests have been on a Carnival cruise from Australia.
In that 10 years, Carnival has welcomed three ships to Australia with a fourth ship to follow soon – Carnival Luminosa.
Australia will be the first market to experience Carnival Luminosa as she departs on her first passenger cruise in November 2022, kick-starting Carnival’s first-ever Queensland program with 28 sailings departing from Brisbane from November 2022 to April 2023.
Carnival Cruise Line Vice President Kara Glamore said: “Although it has been a challenging few years, this celebration and the reception we’ve had for our return has been truly incredible.”
“We can’t thank our guests, partners and crew enough for all their support and we can’t wait to offer our signature style of fun cruising for many years to come.”
