Carnival Adventure’s 2027 Voyages

Departing January 27, 2027, this sailing visits Airlie Beach and Darwin in Australia, as well as Bali and Lombok in Indonesia. This voyage stands out with its focus on eco-tourism, offering excursions highlighting sustainable travel practices, such as guided rainforest tours in Darwin.
Fred Stein, Carnival’s vice president of itinerary planning, described the new offerings as “some of our most exotic and diverse itineraries in the Asia-Pacific region,” expressing the excitement of inaugural visits to several ports and countries.
“With our expanded deployment in Australia, we’re able to deliver more variety while maintaining the Carnival experience our guests know and love,” Stein said.
Last summer, it was announced that Carnival Cruise Line would absorb P&O Cruises Australia, keeping two ships and offloading the others. Two of the vessels are being renamed Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter.
