Spirit’s new Brisbane home will allow Queenslanders to experience the fun and adventure that only a Carnival cruise can offer. Sit back, relax and embark from Queensland’s new cruise terminal and the Brisbane River behind you. Carnival’s cruises from Brisbane open up the beautiful Great Barrier Reef and South Pacific islands, including Noumea and Lifou Isle in New Caledonia and the capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila.

2022 Itineraries
South Pacific Cruises, Splendor and Spirit
Cruising to the South Pacific is a tropical breeze with Carnival thanks to departures from both Brisbane and Sydney. Visit breathtaking destinations, such as beautiful Isle of Pines, Port Vila, Suva and more, with cruises that are fun for the whole family. Seeing is believing when it comes to the majestic marine life in the South Pacific and a cruise with Carnival allows you to live the high life on the high seas.

NEW CALEDONIA
The Isle of Pines
The Isle of Pines is nicknamed ‘the closest island to paradise’ and once you disembark onto its shores, you’ll understand why. It is located within the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, and is a gem in the south of New Caledonia. The French-Pacific territory is renowned for its tropical climate, pristine beaches, untouched coral reefs, along with a relaxed, island culture.

NEW CALEDONIA
Noumea
Known as the Paris of the Pacific, Noumea invites you to explore its vast, white sandy beaches, savour its unique fusion of French and Melanesian flavours and be immersed in the rich, artistic culture.

VANUATU
Mystery Island
It’s no mystery that Mystery Island, Vanuatu, became steeped in allure after it made headlines during a 1974 royal visit. Traditionally known as Inyeug (meaning small island), this unspoilt and uninhabited 1.5-hectare paradise is all yours to explore.

FIJI
Known as the Paradise in the Pacific, Fiji has two main ports that Carnival visits: Port Denarau and Dravuni Island. In Port Denarau you can enjoy a snorkeling adventure to discover local marine life and stunning coral reefs. At only 2km long and 0.5km wide, Dravuni Island is the definition of an island getaway. A pristine paradise, this dream land will greet you with a warm and friendly hello or as locals say, bula.
