“Carnival Cruise Line is notifying guests and travel advisors of changes to its fleet deployment plan as it continues to implement its successful restart of guest operations in the U.S and adjusts for the continued uncertainty of cruising in Australia with operations still on pause. “Our very loyal guests and our fleet of popular ships are strengths to our advantage as we adapt to the changing opportunities and circumstances,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line U.S.Ĭarnival Cruise Line said in its statement it would resume operations in Australia when government officials can provide clarity. The cruise line has also cancelled the Carnival Spirit’s sailings from June 5 through till October 5, 2023. The Carnival Splendor will be repositioned to America along with the Carnival Spirit.Ĭarnival cancelled sailings on the Splendor between June 10 to September 26. Just one day after announcing one of its vessels would be pulled out of Australia because of the Federal Government’s continued cruise ban, Carnival Cruises today announced its second and last ship would also leave Australia for American waters.Ī statement from America also revealed the Carnival Spirit, which was to have sailed out of Brisbane from a brand new terminal, would not return until October, 2023.Ĭarnival has spent a decade building its “Fun Ship” family brand among Australian families, so the news will be another devastating blow for the local industry, already reeling from two years of the cruise ban and facing the fact that the government is likely to continue it on February 17.
