Other unique features include a two-deck-high sliding sky dome over the ship’s large pool deck, allowing the area to be used in all types of weather; a collection of 120 Murano glass light fixtures and chandeliers known worldwide for their quality and craftsmanship; and a sunset deck bar perfect for enjoying a drink in an enchanting atmosphere.
“While Carnival Luminosa will feel like a Carnival ship through and through with our signature service and offerings, the ship offers her own unique features that our guests are going to love,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other Spirit-class ships in the Carnival fleet and 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.
Found only on Carnival Luminosa, and serving as the centrepiece of the 10-deck-high atrium, is a particularly monumental bronze sculpture Reclining Woman 2004 that was specially commissioned for this ship by world-renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero.
Ahead of Carnival Luminosa’s first Australian sailing on November 06, Carnival Cruise Line has today revealed some of the special features guests can expect that make the ship unique to the fleet. The ship also features one of the fleet’s largest spas spanning across two decks with one of the most expansive thermal areas, as well as an arcade with games for guests of all ages to enjoy.
Carnival Luminosa will serve as the first Carnival ship to be homeported in Brisbane, Australia with a variety of itineraries beginning on November 6, 2022, and running through April 13, 2023. The multi-million-dollar sculpture, more than 3 metres in height and weighing nearly one tonne, depicts a female figure daydreaming in a reclining position with a subtle and ironic facial expression. She serves as a good luck charm to the ship, her crew, and her guests.
