Carnival Splendor

Life On Board

The Carnival Splendor is another Carnival Australia ship that specializes in close to home itineraries and does it well. Explore Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific visiting ports like Moreton Island, Tangalooma, Hobart, Melbourne, Noumea, Mare and much more. Most cruises will depart from Sydney.

The ship is family-friendly, so you are most likely to sail with families with kids of all ages, especially during the school holidays. There are ways for the adults to get some peace and quiet, though, like the adult-only Serenity Retreat or the Cloud 9 Spa. If shopping is more your thing, you’ll feel right at home. There are great boutiques selling clothes, accessories, fine jewellery, watches and liquor duty- and tax-free on board.

Accommodation

Select one of the following cabin categories: Inside – the most value-for-money option, Outside – a good choice for outside views, Balcony – for fresh ocean air as well as spectacular views or Suite – the most opulent alternative. Whichever category you go with, you will enjoy great amenities, like air conditioning, a safe, premium linens, a TV and a dedicated room steward. For ultimate relaxation, book one of the Cloud 9 cabins, these come in all four of the above categories and feature heaps of additional amenities and spa perks. You will enjoy discounts on exclusive treatments, complimentary fitness classes, unlimited use of the Thermal Suites and the Hydrotherapy Pool, upgraded in-room toiletries, priority when reserving treatments and a unique welcome ritual.

Food & Drink

Dining on board is a joy, there is so much variety and so many options that you could eat at a different restaurant every night.
