Carnival Australia is part of Carnival Corporation & plc, the world's largest cruise holiday company.

You're thinking about what to do for your holiday and the usual suspects come to mind: beach holidays, theme parks and road trips. Well, if none of these ideas make your heart beat faster, then consider it a sign. This is the year to do something different. Because nothing takes you further away from an ordinary holiday than a Carnival cruise.

Think about it. No, don't think about it. Imagine it. Feeling the stress melt away as you get a hot stone treatment. Playing nine holes of mini-golf at 21 knots. Taking the ultimate plunge at Carnival WaterWorks. Dining while being serenaded by an orchestra of waves. Exploring the seabed in a glass-bottom boat in New Caledonia. Abseiling down the face of a waterfall in Vanuatu. Feasting away at a beachside barbie in Fiji. Or maybe feeling the wind in your hair on a 4WD safari in New Zealand. We're talking the kind of fun you'll want to tell people about. But you'll have to wait 'til you get home. You won't have time for postcards when you're having this much fun. Sorry, Grandma.

You see, the whole point of a holiday is to get away from everything ordinary for a while. Put on your fun hat. Let loose. Unleash. And nothing does that better than a Carnival cruise. So come aboard, join us and have the kind of holiday you've only imagined.
