Carnival Cruise Line has made the difficult decision to delay the return to service of certain ships until after required dry dock maintenance and upgrades can be completed in the first half of 2021. As such, all Carnival Spirit cruises from Brisbane have been cancelled until June 2021. Additionally, Carnival has announced the cancellation of Carnival Splendor sailings departing from Sydney between 19 December 2020 through to 7 January 2021.
Carnival has said, given the limited international air service available, it is likely it may need Carnival Splendor to help support crew movements related to refurbishment activities that were suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the return to operation plans for the Carnival fleet.
Carnival will resume cruising in Australia when the time is right and will do so with enhanced health measures developed in conjunction with government authorities, public health experts, and the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
Carnival Cruise Line appreciates the understanding and support of its guests and travel agent partners and looks forward to warmly welcoming guests back on board as soon as possible.
The company is making contact with guests and travel agents who are impacted and is offering flexible options for all those affected.
