SYDNEY, APRIL 14 – First sailing into the Sunshine State 166 days ago, yesterday Carnival Luminosa said ‘see you soon’ to Queensland as she embarked on her three-week Journeys cruise to Alaska.
With over 1,800 guests on board, the incredible voyage is Carnival Luminosa’s longest passenger sailing to date
since joining the Carnival fleet. Visiting a number of picturesque ports across the 22-day journey, including Noumea, Suva, Tahiti, and Hawaii, guests will still have plenty of time to experience all of the fun Carnival Luminosa has to offer.
After a sensational first season sailing from Brisbane, Carnival Luminosa will now spend the US summer cruise season in Alaska. However, Aussie fun-lovers need not worry as Luminosa will return to Queensland
shores in October 2023, bringing more Carnival fun in time for our warmer months.
Over 61,000 guests sailed, including 7,500+ kids
52 ports of call visited across Australia and the South Pacific
Over 100,000 melting chocolate cakes devoured
More than $50,000 raised for the Children’s Hospital Foundation
o Including a $10,000 donation for the 2022 Nine Telethon
110,000+ ice creams and 70,000+ pizzas enjoyed
180 live performances attended and 280 Dive-In Movies screened
10,000+ people pampered at the Cloud 9 Spa
Queenslanders also celebrated some incredible milestones on board Carnival Luminosa, including a very special 100th birthday, one marriage proposal, and an amazing guest who sailed 15 times for a total of 88
days (over half of Luminosa’s total time in Queensland)!
On Luminosa’s first Queensland season, Carnival Cruise Line VP, Kara Glamore said: “Less than six
months after we first set sail from Brisbane, Queenslanders have truly embraced Carnival Luminosa as
their own.
We’ve made some pretty amazing achievements, but what’s impossible to count are the
memories that our guests have created, the fun experiences they’ve had, and the love that our incredible
crew has for them.
“Although it’s sad to be saying goodbye, we’ll be bringing some exciting new itineraries to our 2023/2024
season, offering Queenslanders even more Carnival fun.”
