Carnival expands Asia Pacific services in 2026 and 2027: Travel Weekly

Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its deployment in Australia to include four new Carnival Journeys cruises in the Asia Pacific region.

The new itinerary to Japan, Southeast Asia and Australia includes seven maiden port calls for Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival Luminosa is scheduled to cruise to new destinations in 2026, and Carnival Adventure will follow in 2027. (Carnival Adventure is now P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Adventure sailing. Carnival Corp. is discontinuing the P&O Australia brand.)

Luminosa is scheduled to sail on a 14-day cruise from Tokyo to Singapore, departing on October 9, 2026. The ship will visit Hong Kong, Osaka (Kyoto) and Fukuoka (Hakata) in Japan on Carnival’s first visit. Korea’s Seo Gwi-yeop (Jeju); Keelung (Taipei), Taiwan. The ship will also visit Phi My (Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam.

Luminosa will also sail on a 14-day cruise from Singapore to Brisbane on 30 November 2026. The ship will call in Bali along with Darwin, Cairns and Airlie Beach in Australia.

Adventure will sail a new Asia Pacific itinerary in 2027 with a 14-day Sydney-Singapore cruise. Departing on January 27, 2027, the ship will stop at Airlie Beach and Darwin, Australia. Bali and Lombok, Indonesia.

Adventure will later sail to the new port of call on a nine-day round-trip Southeast Asia cruise from Singapore, departing on February 27, 2027. The itinerary includes new ports of call in Koh Samui and Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Thailand. The ship will also sail to Sihanoukville, Cambodia and Phi My (Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam.

Luminosa sailings must be booked through Carnival Cruise Line, and Carnival Adventure cruises must be booked through P&O Cruises Australia until March when the P&O Australia brand disappears.
