Saturday, August 31, 2024 Carnival Cruise Line expands in Australia as Carnival Splendor returns to Sydney with new upgrades, joined by Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter. Carnival Splendor is set to return to Sydney with a range of exciting new enhancements following its dry dock in Singapore. The ship, scheduled to arrive at Sydney Harbor on September 9, now features updated dining options, refurbished staterooms and amenities, and the signature red, white, and blue hull design that has become synonymous with Carnival’s fleet.

A notable addition to the hull design is the Southern Cross motif, a signature element of P&O Cruises Australia ships that will soon become part of the Carnival fleet. Among the new dining options on Carnival Splendor is Mad Sizzle, located on Deck 9, offering a selection of kebabs and satays with slow-roasted meats. Due to its popularity, the Indian restaurant Masala Tiger has been relocated to a larger space on Deck 10.

This expanded venue will now serve an à la carte dinner menu in addition to its well-loved lunch offerings. Other dining venues have also received menu enhancements, such as the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, which now includes signature dishes like T-bone steak and fresh New Zealand pink snapper. The staterooms have been given a fresh look, with balcony areas undergoing complete refurbishments and new whirlpool tubs installed in the suites.
