Brisbane
Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is a large city on the Brisbane River. Clustered in its South Bank cultural precinct are the Queensland Museum and Sciencentre, with noted interactive exhibitions. Another South Bank cultural institution is Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, among Australia's major contemporary art museums. Looming over the city is Mt. Coot-tha, site of Brisbane Botanic Gardens
Santo
Port Vila, Vanuatu
Mystery Island
It’s no mystery that Mystery Island is steeped in allure. Mystery Island came to be after it was headlined in a royal visit in 1974. Traditionally known as Inyeug (meaning: small island), the picture-perfect scenery of this unspoilt South Pacific paradise awaits on a majestic scale. The Island is uninhabited and the only people who visit are cruise passengers. So it’s all yours. And it’s the perfect size to explore the whole thing.
Noumea, New Caledonia
Carnival transports you to the heart of Noumea, in its vibrant capital city of New Caledonia. Renowned as the Paris of the Pacific, you can channel French-style savoir-faire. Aside from ordering delicious croissants (in perfect French of course), there’s plenty of other great stuff to keep you busy. All you gotta do is choose which is more your style. Are you more in the mood for a day at the beach? Or would you rather the hustle and bustle of the city? Perhaps a bit of both?

Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival introduced the concept of Fun Ships in 1972 and have been well known for providing family-friendly cruises on any budget ever since. With adult-only spa areas on selected ships, Carnival provides an onboard haven for honeymooners and good old romancers as well. The emphasis at Carnival is on big ships and big fun. Carnival's 2012 ship Carnival Breeze has a capacity of 3690 passengers, and will feature all the glitzy, award-winning stage shows, themed public areas and more entertainment and activities than you can fit in to one holiday.
By mid 2020, Carnival Spirit will have its home port in Brisbane, giving Australians even more choice for their Carnival departures. Known for fun and relaxed family-friendly cruising, Carnival Cruise Lines prides itself on its incredible range of things to do, both on board and off, with activities, entertainment and shore excursions to keep you busy every day of your trip. Love a good water slide? Carnival has two: the signature Carnival Twister Water Slide and 10-metre drop Green Thunder. Children are also well looked-after on a Carnival cruise, with outdoor sports, games, a waterpark and more, as well as all the fun that’s to be had at the various kids camps, where children are cared for by friendly counsellors who have either education or childcare experience.
Carnival's fleet includes 23 ships, sailing on cruises between 3 and 16 days in duration. Over 60 destinations are visited across the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Europe and Bermuda. Relaxing after a jam-packed day at sea or onshore is made easy with some of the most spacious staterooms around.
Who's On Board?
All aboard the Fun Ships are couples from thirties to fifties, families (lots during school holidays) and single cruisers looking for a convivial onboard atmosphere. The crowd is largely from the US since most departure ports are located there, though with large passenger numbers there are many nationalities on board.
