Carnival Luminosa officially joined the Carnival Cruise Line fleet on September 8. The ship will make its debut from Brisbane, Australia on Nov. 6, 2022.
In Palermo, Italy, Costa Captain Nicolantonio Palombella handed over the ship to Carnival Captain Adriano Binacchi, with additional leadership team members from both lines in attendance.
Carnival Brand Ambassador John Heald captured the moment in a video which can be viewed here.
“Carnival Luminosa is such an added benefit to our Fun Ship family with her unique itineraries and onboard specialities,” said Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line.
“Combining favourites from our fleet and our wonderful crew with some of Luminosa’s own fun features, this ship will surely feel like home to our guests in no time.”
Arriving in Australia in just two months, Carnival Luminosa will sail a variety of seasonal itineraries from Brisbane from Nov. 6, 2022, to April 13, 2023, before repositioning for seasonal service from Seattle to Alaska next May, including some first-time-for-Carnival destinations.
Carnival Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other Spirit-class ships and will accommodate up to 2,826 guests and 1,050 Carnival crew members.
She will be home to many of the activities and experiences from other Carnival ships that guests have come to know and love as well as some new spaces.
Featuring guest favourites from entertainment, youth, and spa, to casino, bars and dining, offerings will include Playlist Productions, The Punchliner Comedy Club, Limelight Lounge, Piano Bar 88, Alchemy Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Chef’s Table, Bonsai Sushi Express, Seaday Brunch, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, and Cloud 9 Spa, among others.
