| Splendor sets sail

CARNIVAL Splendor has officially embarked on her highly anticipated return to Sydney, departing Seattle on a 23 night Transpacific Journeys cruise to her homeport.

The vessel is scheduled to sail triumphantly through the Sydney heads on 30 Sep, with guests on board from all over the world including several very dedicated Aussie cruisers.

Carnival Cruise Line VP Kara Glamore said Splendor’s return was a “huge win for Australian cruising,” with Carnival Luminosa’s arrival also “just around the corner too”.

Carnival CEO Christine Duffy is also expected to head down under for the celebrations.
