Carnival Cruise Line is debuting four new voyages in the Asia-Pacific region in 2026 and 2027.

The newly announced “Carnival Journeys” cruises will be offered aboard Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Adventure (the former P&O Cruises Australia ship). Together, the ships will visit destinations throughout Japan, Southeast Asia and Australia, including seven, new first-time ports for the company.

“These new itineraries represent some of our most exotic and diverse offerings in the Asia-Pacific region,” says Fred Stein, vice president of itinerary planning for Carnival Cruise Line. “With our expanded deployment in Australia, we’re able to offer our guests itineraries with more variety along with the Carnival experience they know and love – and this includes the rare experience of sailing with our ships as they mark inaugural visits to several ports and countries across the region.”

In 2026, Carnival Luminosa will be offering:

  • 14-day Tokyo to Singapore voyage, departing October 9, with inaugural visits for Carnival to Hong Kong; Osaka (Kyoto) and Fukuoka (Hakata) in Japan; South Korea's Seogwipo (Jeju); and Keelung (Taipei) in Taiwan. The ship will also visit Phu My (Ho Chi Minh) in Vietnam.
  • 14-day Singapore to Brisbane journey, departing November 30, 2026, with stops in Bali; Darwin, Cairns, and Airlie Beach, Australia.

In 2027, Carnival Adventure will offer:

  • 14-day Sydney to Singapore cruise, departing January 27, with stops in Airlie Beach and Darwin, Australia; Bali and Lombok, Indonesia.
  • 9-day Southeast Asia cruise, round-trip from Singapore, departing February 27, with first-time visits for Carnival in Koh Samui and Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Thailand, and Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The ship will also visit Phu My (Ho Chi Minh) in Vietnam.
