Carnival Cruise Line has launched four new Asia-Pacific sailings on Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Adventure, in 2026 and 2027.
The ‘Carnival Journeys’ itineraries will feature seven inaugural ports of call for the cruise line and visit destinations in Japan, southeast Asia and Australia.
‘Carnival Journeys’ are a limited series of voyages with additional onboard experiences on offer.
Fred Stein, vice-president of itinerary planning for Carnival Cruise Line, said: “These new itineraries represent some of our most exotic and diverse offerings in the Asia-Pacific region.
“With our expanded deployment in Australia, we’re able to offer our guests itineraries with more variety along with the Carnival experience they know and love, and this includes the rare experience of sailing with our ships as they mark inaugural visits to several ports and countries across the region.”
