9 Night Great Barrier Reef Cruise aboard the Carnival Splendor

Share

Settle in for nine nights of exciting travel across the sea when you step aboard the Carnival Splendor from Sydney, Australia and back.

This cruise is notable because you'll only spend time in rare stops such as Moreton and Airlie Beach. This route is an interesting one for the Splendor.

We include all all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in our price, so that you can compare cruises easily. At less than $170 per day for a balcony cabin, this represents a strong value.
