While Carnival Luminosa is quite new to the Carnival fleet, previously serving as Costa Luminosa for Costa Cruises. it has proved a big hit after its first Australian season with its homeport in Brisbane.

Shortly after being acquired by Carnival, the ship was refitted, but there is still a distinctively Italian feel to it, thanks to its Costa Cruises roots. Otherwise, it maintains the same feel as Carnival’s other family-fun ships. 

While the ship isn’t new—it was built in 2009—it has been well maintained and shows few signs of wear, along with the refurbishment. 

Overview of Carnival Luminosa

Carnival Luminosa is a mid-sized cruise ship that offers a unique blend of relaxation, entertainment, and adventure. With a capacity for over 2,200 passengers, the ship provides an intimate and personalized experience for all guests. From its spacious staterooms to its vibrant public areas, Carnival Luminosa is designed to make a lasting impression.

Whether you’re looking to unwind in the Serenity Bar, indulge in a relaxing spa treatment, or enjoy a night out at the Piano Bar, Carnival Luminosa has something for everyone. This cruise ship ensures that every moment on board is filled with enjoyment and relaxation, making it a perfect choice for your next vacation.

At a glance 

Here’s what to expect onboard Carnival Luminosa.

• Although not as modern as the sister ship Carnival Splendor, Carnival Luminosa is a great family ship, offering the classic Carnival Cruise experience. Despite the ship’s slightly older age, it is very well-maintained and clean. The 2260-passenger Carnival Luminosa is also smaller than 3012-passenger Splendor, meaning it offers a slightly less crowded and less chaotic experience. However, it doesn’t quite have the extensive facilities Splendor offers.
• Carnival provides one of the best cruise experiences for those looking to not just relax, but also unwind with a few drinks or some partying. There are many themed party nights and lively bars and clubs onboard.
• The Carnival Luminosa offers all the classic Carnival experiences like Alchemy Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Redfrog Rum Bar, Piano Bar 88, the Comedy Club, and more. The large room features in the luxury accommodations include unique decor, convenient amenities, walk-in closets, in-room tubs, and spacious balconies that enhance guest relaxation.
• Carnival Luminosa sailing out of Queensland means that if you’re looking to sail a Queensland itinerary, such as a Great Barrier Reef, you can get a few fewer sea days by sailing on Luminosa.
