50 years of fun brought to life in 6 epic zones! Vacations and celebrations simply go together–and often celebrations make the best vacations–no matter if it’s for a holiday, a birthday, or anniversary.But what exactly is it that makes a perfect celebration? While it changes from person to person, there are some common ingredients: doing something special, stepping out of the ordinary, and above all–having fun!
Destinations
CARIBBEAN : We don’t have proof, but evidence suggests that the Caribbean was made for cruising. This evidence is all around you — you’ll find in the Caribbean air, the sand and the water. And with more than 5,000 islands and cays spread across this amazing region, there’s a lot of paradise to see.
BAHAMAS : So close, yet so deliciously far. Mexico might be right down there, but it exists in another world entirely. Experience a whole enchilada’s worth of rich culture and fun on a cruise to Mexico.
MEXICO : From incense-scented temples to sizzling street food, an Asia cruise will make your senses come alive. In a single voyage on one of our ships, you’ll be amazed at the contrast between gleaming, futuristic cities and intricate shrines and pagodas where time seems to have stood still.
EUROPEAN & MEDITERRANEAN : Few places in the world pack in as much culture per square meter as Europe does… and nobody packs fun into Europe like Carnival does! There’s so much variety across the continent and its islands, and with Carnival you have options for experiencing many of these places by sea.
BERMUDA : An enchanting land of pink sand and turquoise waters — discover that paradise is in fact a reality. Bermuda may be so British that the police are constables and the countries share a royal family, but the traditional Bermudan breakfast is codfish, potato and banana.
Alaska: If you’re looking for a cruise vacation that’s a little bit out of the way and a little bit out of the ordinary, make an Alaska cruise your first choice. If your first thought is “Alaska… cool!” you’re on the right track.
CANADA & NEW ENGLAND: Canada and New England cruises offer some of the most breathtaking scenery you can imagine. While Canada and New England may not spring to mind when you think of cruise destinations, they should — because the perfect way to experience this naturally gorgeous, history-packed region is to arrive by sea.
GREENLAND & CANADA : If you think back to school, remember that Greenland is the one with all the ice, right? And while it’s true that Greenland is both huge and mostly icy, there are actually places on the southernmost tip that are just perfect for cruising.
HAWAII : If you’re looking to make an exotic destination your next vacation, let’s talk about the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of Hawaii. The answers are as follows: visit Hawaii on a Carnival cruise (of course), and… visit Hawaii because this place is simply spectacular!
PANAMA CANAL: Zoom your map way out and Panama looks like a small sliver of land, so a trip through its famous canal is a quickie, right? But not so fast — traversing the canal actually takes at least 20 hours!
TRANSATLANTIC : Back when ships were used less for cruising and more for traveling, the transatlantic was the big one, the sort of trip a person might take once in their life. Today, the transatlantic is less about passage than it is a rite of passage, a cool throwback voyage that travel enthusiasts should try at least once.
TRANSPACIFIC : Some people see an ocean and they’re like… “You know what, I’ve gotta cross it. Let’s see what’s on the other side.” If you’re an explorer, it’s just what you do. Today we know exactly what’s where (thanks, maps!) but making the journey still matters, and the spirit of discovery lives on in a Transpacific Carnival cruise.
ASIA : Explore the multiculturally diverse South-East-Asian region. Enjoy a range of cruises that offer unlimited fun, and unimaginable sights, sounds, tastes and family-style adventure with Carnival cruises to or from Asia. Sail away to some of the most exciting and exotic cities in the world and immerse your senses with over 45 daily activities and a huge variety of dining options.
AUSTRALIA, GREAT BARRIER REEF, & NEW ZEALAND : Book one of Carnival Cruise Line’s Australia cruises and enjoy some of most picturesque destinations the country has to offer. Take a cruise ship from the Brisbane River or Sydney Harbour Bridge and explore the white sandy beaches of Moreton Island, or dive into a Great Barrier Reef Queensland cruise. Snorkel among the coral reefs, take in the beauty of the spectacular Daintree Rainforest and Whitehaven Beach, go on a crocodile adventure. New Zealand cruises include cruises to Fiordland Park, Mildford Sound, the Bay of Islands and close-up views of their natural beauty. Take a 10, 11, or 12 night New Zealand cruise and enjoy the adventure the land of the long white cloud is known for
TASMANIA : Enjoy a Carnival cruise to Tasmania from Sydney and take in the wonders of the island state. Cruise to Tasmania and lose yourself in the historical sites of Hobart’s Battery Point, or Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula, part of the Tasman National Park.
