Setting sail in November, Carnival Luminosa™ is new to the Carnival fleet! This ship comes to us courtesy of our sister line Costa Cruises, and there’s so much fun that’s coming along with it.
Guests setting sail on Carnival Luminosa can expect hospitality and fun that’s pure, unmistakable Carnival, with so many fan-favorite onboard features like the flavors of Alchemy Bar®, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and RedFrog® Rum Bar; the entertainment of Playlist Productions™, Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner™ Comedy Club; plus the relaxation of Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity™. And when you’re indoors, you can still expect great views and lots of natural light — the ship was built with plenty of windows.
So when you choose to sail on Carnival Luminosa, can we just say… great choice! There’s just one more decision to make: is Australia or Alaska more your cruising style? We ask because this world-traveling ship will kick things off with a season of sailings from Australia with plenty of itinerary options… before heading to Seattle in 2023 for a summer of Alaska cruises. Then it’s back Down Under for more fun. And when the ship’s heading from one region to the other, we take the opportunity to sail unique Transpacific itineraries that stop in spots like Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Japan and more. So, what we’re saying is… with scenery like this, you’re gonna put those windows to good use!
