    Carnival Luminosa Overview

    Carnival Luminosa

    4
    (from 142 verified customers)

    Carnival Luminosa sails a variety of itineraries, initially including visits to Australian favourites such as the Great Barrier Reef and Airlie Beach, and on to the South Pacific with Noumea, Lifou Island, Port Vila, Mystery Island, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji. After cruising seasonally from Brisbane, Luminosa will then move to Seattle for Alaska itineraries from May through September. Given the short timeline to get Luminosa ready for service with Carnival, the ship went through modest updates in 2022, which means she will not initially have all of the Funship 2.0 branded spaces seen across the rest of the cruise line’s fleet. She will however, still offer the Carnival experience onboard, with great entertainment, helpful and friendly staff, and, of course, lots of FUN!
