Witness the Alotau Festival and Sing Sing, a P&O-exclusive local display of canoes, warriors, powerful music and dance. As a matrilineal society, women make the rules in the Trobriand Islands. Try your hand at Trobriand cricket on Kiriwina Island – where the unconventional rules include an unlimited number of players, dancing and whistleblowing. On Kitava Island, unspoiled beaches and sparkling tropical waters teeming with fish and coral are ready for exploring. Visit new destination Conflict Islands - possibly the most peaceful place in the world.

In 2014, Carnival Spirit, currently the largest and newest cruise ship home ported year-round in Sydney, was joined by sister ship Carnival Legend which has been sailing on an extended summer season Down Under every year, until recently departing for the incoming Carnival Splendor.
Carnival Spirit will reposition to Brisbane, its new home port, and sail year-round from October 2020. Carnival Splendor will join the Australian fleet in December 2019 as the ship repositions to her new home port in Sydney and is set to become the newest and largest ship home ported year-round in Australia.
Carnival sails from Sydney and Melbourne and will do so from Brisbane in 2020. Carnival's itineraries range from three-night short weekend getaways to 8-night Pacific Island escapes to longer holidays between Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Hawaii.
With more than 45 daily activities from the thrilling Green Thunder waterslide, themed nights, live Broadway-style entertainment and the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss with Seuss at Sea™.
Carnival's ships offer fun-loving families and couples fun, memorable holidays at great value.
