Carnival Splendor Cruises 2025-27 Schedule, Cabins & Destinations

Carnival Splendor is a regular guest out of Sydney Harbour, sailing year-round out of Sydney. The ship has been a regular fixture of Australian cruises after Carnival announced it would be sending the ship Down Under. She previously sailed the Eastern and Western Caribbean before heading Down Under. 

It was actually once Carnival Cruise Line’s biggest cruise ship, fitting 3012 people at double occupancy and weighing in at 113,000 gross tonnes. However, this was in 2008 and as one might imagine, was surpassed soon after.

It’s well known that Carnival Luminosa, which sails out of Brisbane, was originally designed for Costa Cruises and then transferred to Carnival Cruises. It’s less known that Carnival Splendor was also being constructed for Costa Cruises, but was reassigned to Carnival during construction. 

Splendor serves an important role, as the longest-running Carnival Cruise Line ship in Australia, and the first Carnival ship to return to Australia after the cruise ban. 

The ship recently underwent a dry-dock, where it had some new livery painted, as well as some onboard tweaks.

Whether you’re weighing up whether to sail on Splendor or already have your cruise booked, here’s everything you need to know about what to do onboard: where she sails, how to eat and indulge onboard, and plenty more.

If you’re sailing out of Sydney with Carnival Cruise Line, your other option is Carnival Adventure. It’s also a great ship but Splendor is the larger and more modern of the two options.

Splendor has a large range of short and well-valued cruises for those looking to get away for a shorter amount of time. However, Splendor also has a range of New Zealand itineraries, therefore if you’re looking to go Across the Ditch with Carnival, you’ll likely end up on the Splendor. Additionally, Carnival offers longer enrichment voyages known as carnival journeys, featuring unique itineraries with special cultural and culinary events, as well as themed seminars.

Carnivalships generally have more of a lively atmosphere than other cruise lines, it’s a great option for group or family trips, with plenty happening both during the day and also at night, with theme nights and night clubs that stay open into the early hours.

Carnival specialises as a family line, making it perfect for those who want a great kids club to entertain their kids, as well as plenty of family friendly activities onboard like movie nights, water parks, and more. Carnival can still be a great option for those without kids, but you should be prepared to see plenty of kids and for a family atmosphere.

But even if adults are looking for some time on their own, check out the Serenity adult-only Retreat where you can sit back and and relax.

1. Eight-day Vanuatu & New Caledonia – multiple departures – This eight-day sailing starts from just $575, visiting Lifou, Mystery Island and Noumea. You’ll have a mix of five sea days and three port days to explore the ship and the beautiful South Pacific waters.
2. Five-day Tasmania – multiple departures – Cruises to Australia’s Southern states are becoming a bit rare, making this five-day trip to Tasmania a good deal, starting from $539. The cruise departs from Sydney will visit Hobart and Port Arthur, offering two chances to get out and place the state.
