Carnival Splendor returning to Sydney
Carnival Splendor is returning to Sydney with a range of new onboard enhancements after a dry dock in Singapore.
The ship, which will return to Sydney Harbor on September 9, now has updated dining venues, various stateroom and amenity refurbishments, and the signature red, white, and blue hull design.
New dining options available on Carnival Splendor include Mad Sizzle, on Deck 9, which serves kebabs and satays with slow spit-roasted meats.
Due to its popularity, Indian restaurant Masala Tiger is in a new, larger location on Deck 10.
Menus at other dining venues have also been enhanced, including Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse.
Staterooms have been updated, with balconies receiving full refurbishments and there are new whirlpool tubs installed in suites.
There is a fully refreshed mini-golf course, as well as a revamped Carnival WaterWorks featuring waterslides and Splashy Cove children’s play area.
“Carnival Splendor has more fun to offer our guests sailing from Sydney than ever before,” said Kara Glamore, Carnival Cruise Line Australia VP.
“Carnival is set to be Australia’s largest cruise brand from early next year and we’re proud to continue to provide new ways to bring more fun to our guests.”
Beginning March 2025, Carnival Splendor and Carnival Luminosa will be joined by two additional sister ships operating in Australia when P&O Cruises Australia transitions to Carnival Cruise Line.
Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter will become Carnival sister ships and will be renamed Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter.
