Carnival Cruise Line has unveiled four new Carnival Journeys sailings in the Asia Pacific region for 2026 and 2027 aboard the Carnival Luminosa and the Carnival Adventure, with ports of calls across Japan, Southeast Asia, and Australia – including seven first-time destinations for the cruise line.
The expansion coincides with Carnival’s integration of two P&O Australia ships into its fleet in March 2025, bolstering its presence in the Pacific and offering travellers more diverse and enchanting itineraries.
