Set sail from Sydney harbour, cocktail in hand and watch the sunset over the Sydney skyline as you prepare to arrive in paradise.
Forget arduous airport check-ins and gruelling 12 hour drives to get where you want to go. On a Carnival cruise, vacay begins the second you step aboard.
Carnival Cruise Line’s short trips and weekend cruises cram in some of the best sights Australia has to offer, from an entirely new vantage point. If you’re a newbie to ‘cruise life’, a weekend getaway is the perfect chance to strap on your sea legs and discover what the fuss is all about.
Discover Australia’s best-kept secrets.
Carnival’s vast and varied itineraries will see you discovering pockets of Australia you never knew existed. If we’re travelling ‘full steam ahead’ anywhere this Spring, we’re hoping it’s in the direction of Moreton Island. Located just 35km off the coast of Brisbane, Moreton Island is the world’s third-largest sand island known for its white sandy beaches, steep dunes and phenomenal snorkelling.
Entangled amongst the colourful marine life, you’ll find a total of 15 shipwrecks right off the coast providing a haven for over 100 species of fish, dolphins, wobbegongs and dugongs. If swimming off the idyllic white sandy beaches isn’t your vibe, try zooming across the towering dunes on a quad bike. Prefer your feet firmly on the ground? We hear traversing the awesome dunes by foot is just as fun.
Stay to watch the spectacular sunset as it falls behind the Glass House Mountains before heading back aboard to catch the starry light show from the deck.
