Indonesian Explorer - Singapore to Brisbane

Embark on an unforgettable journey from Singapore with a Carnival Cruise. Each cruise getaway begins or ends with the Singapore Harbour, a destination that every cruise lover should experience. The cruise showcases the elegance of Singapore, with highlights including the world-renowned Orchard Road, the awe-inspiring Marina Bay, and the tranquil Botanical Gardens. This Southeast Asia cruise package promises to leave you spellbound. But with Carnival Cruise Line, the journey is about more than just the destination. It's about immersing yourself in exciting onboard activities, savouring a variety of dining options, and diving into the thrilling adventures you've always dreamed of on the best cruise ship.

A Carnival cruise to Lembar (Lombok) is the perfect chance to get away from it all and create memories that will last forever. A Lombok cruise reveals an island that features stunning mountains, green pastures and tall trees as far as the eye can see. Spend time walking along pristine Senggigi Beach and make the most of the spectacular location. Lose yourself in the Lingsar temple and appreciate the rich cultural traditions of the area.

A Lombok cruise is also about more than the destination. With more than 45 activities onboard, the fun and adventure will never stop.

• Stroll along white sandy beaches.
• Find harmony at the Lingsar temple.
• Witness amazing marine life.
• Make the most of a Lombok cruise.

There’s a reason so many people love Bali cruises, and it’s easy to see why. Enjoy the white sand beaches, visit sacred temples, experience active volcanoes and ancient rice paddies and soak in everything Benoa (Bali) has to offer.

Enjoy a cruise to Darwin, and make the most of everything the laid-back capital of the Northern Territory has to offer. Take in the city’s beaches, buzzing markets and stunning air conditioned restaurants and cafes. With a Darwin cruise you can also enjoy the marinas, jetties and waterfront parks that have made the city so popular with visitors. And don’t miss the city’s amazing natural beauty, including the Charles Darwin National Park, almost alongside the Darwin cruise terminal. The fun and adventure will start before you get there, with more than 45 activities onboard a Darwin cruise, helping you make memories that will last a lifetime.

Visit the coastal city of Cairns and enjoy a smorgasbord of fun and adventure. A Carnival Cruise Line holiday to Cairns offers the perfect mix of shore excursions the whole family will love - on water and land. Daintree Rainforest tours are the ideal way to experience the ecosystem of the wet tropics of Queensland (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Go snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, experience the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail, or have a tropical rainforest nature park adventure. A day trip to Cairns itself is always worth it, with amazing shopping on the Esplanade and scenic walks that will blow you away.

The white sands of world-famous Whitehaven Beach, glass-bottom-boat day tours on the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea, high-speed catamaran joy rides and Hamilton Island region magic awaits Airlie Beach cruises with Carnival. Travel to the heart of the 74 islands that comprise the picture-perfect Whitsunday Islands, an Australian treasure.
