Carnival Cruise Line is adding two specialty dining venues to its Australia-based ships, the line announced.
Starting May 5, Fahrenheit 555 will open aboard Carnival Adventure, which sails from Sydney, and Carnival Encounter, which sails from Brisbane.
The steakhouse replaces Luke’s Bar and Grill on both ships. The addition means Fahrenheit 555 will now be available on all four of Carnival’s Australia-based ships, joining Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa, where it already operates.
The steakhouse menu includes premium cuts of beef, seafood, gourmet entrees, appetizers, and an extensive wine list.
Bonsai Sushi Express has also recently opened on both ships, offering made-to-order sushi, sashimi, rolls, salads, poke bowls, and desserts.
A specialty burger venue called Carnival Topside Grill is also planned for both ships, though no opening date has been announced.
Fahrenheit 555 first debuted in 2011 as part of Carnival’s Fun Ship 2.0 fleet upgrade program and has since become one of the line’s signature upcharge dining options.
About the Ships
Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter joined the Carnival fleet in March 2025 following the closure of P&O Cruises Australia, a brand that had operated in the region for over 90 years.
Both ships originally sailed for Princess Cruises, Adventure as Golden Princess and Encounter as Star Princess, before transferring to P&O Australia in 2022 as Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter.
The two Grand-class ships were built by Fincantieri and measure approximately 109,000 gross tons, with a capacity of around 2,600 passengers each.
Together with Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa, they give Carnival four ships sailing year-round from Australian ports.
