Casual, Fun & Family Friendly

Carnival Cruises is the largest Cruise Line in the world with a fleet of 24 ships. Carrying over 4 million guests each year Carnival Australia is expanding their reach in Australian waters with it's newest ship "Spendor" set to arrive in Australia in 2019. Until then we have Carnival Spirit and Legend offering an abundance of Cruises from Sydney and around Australia to wet your appetite.

With so many cruise itineraries available, choosing the best deal can sometimes be clouded by price. We suggest taking all factors into account to ensure you're not just basing your decision on price alone. Think about your ultimate goal, the schedule, the places you wish to visit, and the type of ship you'd like to travel upon. You don't want to be doing a cruise to New Zealand just based on the price when you really want a cruise from Sydney to Fiji and Vanuatu. In the end the choices are endless, but you want to balance value for money with your ultimate cruising holiday. Search our Cruise Sale finder to find the best deal.

Popular itineraries include the Melbourne Cup Cruise, Weekend Samplers, Queensland Cruises to Moreton Island and the northern coast, and of course the Pacific Islands and Hawaii.

Sales are on throughout the year with major discounts, and free inclusions. Be sure to check back regularly for specials and discounts and add your email to our mailing list.

Wonderful Review on Carnival Spirit

Had a great time on our cruise. Everything was perfect, food was great, the cabin was spotless. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in and that is better than my own bed. Entertainment was top class and the crew were lovely always happy and smiling. Because of the fires on Moreton Island we were diverted to Hobart which I thoroughly enjoyed instead.

Carnival Spirit was amazing

8 days to Noumea, Mare and Isle of Pines; such a wonderful time. First time cruising and Wong be the last. Amazing value for a family of five. Easy to book, service was top-notch. Thank you!

Amazing Cruise Experience on Carnival Spirit

This Cruise was organised for my mother in law who turned 80 years of age. It was absolutely amazing, we loved every minute being on this Cruise. So many enjoyable things to do, the nonstop food service was exceptionally 100% the best service, the early dining was also enjoyable with entertainment each night. The Cruise Staff was all excellent caring helpful and very committed to the service...

Julie travelled on Carnival Legend in November, 2018 and left the following Carnival Cruises review:

Great cruise on the Carnival Legend

Great cruise and a smooth ride. Great food. The only thing i would suggest is more free coffee and and tea stations on all decks so we're not treking up to deck 9. Otherwise can't fault anything. Staff are polite and helpful.
