Share

Embark on the Carnival Splendor and prepare for nine nights of luxurious sailing across the sea from Sydney, Australia and back!

This cruise is noteworthy because you will only spend time in exotic cities such as Lifou, Mystery Island, and Noumea. This route is an uncommon one for the Splendor.

We include all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in the price, so that you can compare cruises easily. With a cost of under $100 per day, this value is very good.
