Carnival Cruise Line is entering a new era in Australia with the maiden voyages of Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter. These ships will enhance the experience for guests departing from Sydney and Brisbane. With this addition, Carnival now has its largest fleet in 53 years, totaling 29 ships.
