Transitioning from sister line Costa, Carnival Luminosa has officially joined the Carnival Cruise Line fleet today as the newest Fun Ship. It will make its CCL debut from Brisbane, Australia on November 6.
In Palermo, Italy, this morning, Costa Captain Nicolantonio Palombella handed over the ship to Carnival Captain Adriano Binacchi in Palermo, Italy, with additional leadership team members from both lines in attendance.
"Carnival Luminosa is such an added benefit to our Fun Ship family with her unique itineraries and onboard specialties," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "Combining favourites from our fleet and our wonderful crew with some of Luminosa's own fun features, this ship will surely feel like home to our guests in no time."
Carnival Luminosa will sail a variety of seasonal itineraries from Brisbane from November 6 2022 through April 13, 2023, before repositioning for seasonal service from Seattle to Alaska next May.
Carnival Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other Spirit-class ships and will accommodate up to 2,826 guests and 1,050 Carnival crew members. The ship 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.
Offerings will include Playlist Productions, The Punchliner Comedy Club, Limelight Lounge, Piano Bar 88, Alchemy Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, Chef's Table, Bonsai Sushi Express, Seaday Brunch, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, and Cloud 9 Spa, among others.
