Carnival Cruise Line has returned to Australia with a restart of sailings from Sydney for the first time since the pandemic.
Carnival Splendor departed at the weekend on a four-day itinerary and will continue with a year-round programme of cruises.
The line’s president Christine Duffy marked the return to service in Australia after almost three years.
She said: “We have been planning this return for some time, and we are elated now to see guests back on board, ready to have fun and take in the beauty that Australia has to offer.
“And as we welcome the arrival of our newest ship, Carnival Luminosa to Brisbane next month, we’re looking forward to even more fun in Australia.”
