Itinerary

  • Depart UK for Sydney, two nights' on the flight
  • Arrive into Sydney, transfer to your hotel for overnight stay
  • Famous for its beautiful harbour and stunning beaches, Sydney is a must on any visit to Australia. With so much to see and do in this amazing city, its well worth planning ahead to make the most of your time here, especially if you're only in town for a few days. Perhaps begin by exploring the harbour, with its famous landmarks and take a ferry ride across the harbour to Manly, where you'll experience fantastic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House along the way. Any visit to Sydney wouldn't be complete without a visit to its iconic beaches and a great way to see these is by taking the Bondi to Bronte walk, a short spectacular coastal trail along epic sandstone cliffs.
  • Embark ship
  • Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
  • Located at the southern tip of the North Island and nestled between a beautiful harbour and rolling green hills, Wellington is New Zealand's capital city. The city has a wealth of cultural attractions with many art galleries and museums, including the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, which is noted as one of the finest interactive museums in the world; the museum is located on the waterfront at Queens Wharf which makes for a pleasant walk from the city centre.
  • Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre's stone-built buildings.
  • Nestled in tree-clad hills on the South East coast of the South Island, Dunedin is New Zealand's largest city by area and arguably the most spectacular in terms of contrasting landscapes. Known as the 'Edinburgh of New Zealand' Dunedin is a Kiwi city where Scottish heritage can be found everywhere, you'll find the statue of Robert Burns in the Octagon as well as New Zealand's only scotch distillery and kilt shop. The city boasts a wealth of distinguished architecture, including Dunedin train station with its elaborate Victorian facade, extravagant tile floors and etched glass work.
  • One of the highlights on a cruise to New Zealand are the sparkling Fiords and dramatic beauty of the Fiordland National Park. Made up of 14 fiords, including Dusky Sound, Doubtful Sound and Milford Sound, this UNESCO World Heritage site provides some of the most spectacular scenic cruising in the world, where ancient rain forests cling impossibly to the mountains and waterfalls tumble hundreds of meters into massive fiords.
  • Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
  • Disembark ship for overnight flight to UK
  • Arrive back into the UK

Ship Information


Cruise Overview
Carnival Splendor is a big vessel with a huge personality -- and it sets itself apart from the Carnival pack in grand style. Splendor is designed around the loosely realised theme of "splendid things" with cheery and playful -- if sometimes jarring -- decor. We're not architects, but when we first walked onboard -- and we are not alone in reacting this way -- we felt under assault by a design that we can only describe as overwhelming. The 113,300-tonne Splendor marks its own class of vessel for Carnival, basically a larger version of the ships from the line's earlier Conquest Class. One of Splendor's most impressive features is its expansive spa, among the most elaborate in the fleet. Pan-Asian in design, the Cloud 9 Spa spans two decks and includes a state-of-the-art fitness centre that easily rivals any at sea. With more than a dozen lounges and bars, water slides, mini-golf, multiple age-appropriate kids' programs, nonstop activities and a singing wait staff, Splendor makes good on delivering what Carnival passengers have come to expect: fun.
Cabin Details
Carnival Splendor has a total of 1,506 staterooms, all fairly standard in their respective categories, with balcony, ocean-view and interior cabins all equally configured at 17 square metres (185 square feet). The balconies themselves add an additional three square metres (35 square feet) or more of outdoor space to equipped staterooms. Apart from some extra perks in suites and designated spa cabins, and, of course, different ranges of cabin sizes, there aren't all that many big differences in stateroom amenities. To that end, every stateroom has a telephone, individual climate control, hair dryer, small safe, mini-bar (which is empty), bathrobes and an interactive flat-screen television that lets you do everything from checking your account to ordering a bottle of wine or shore excursion tickets. There is a multisection wardrobe with hangers, shelves and drawers for storage, as well as some additional drawers/shelving within the desk/vanity table and nightstands. Every stateroom, excluding interiors, also comes with a table and sitting area and has been fitted with Australian three-point plugs.
Dining Details
The Gold Pearl and The Black Pearl (Decks 3 and 4)Meals: Breakfast (B), Lunch (L), Dinner (D)Seating a combined total of 1,866 passengers, The Gold Pearl is the larger of the two venues, with room for 1,122 diners, and also offers pleasant aft-view seating, overlooking the ship's wake. The majority of tables accommodate four, six and 10 diners with a limited number of two-tops.Open-seating a la carte breakfast and lunch are offered in The Gold Pearl. Dinner tables are assigned in two seatings -- at 5.45 p.m. and 7.45 p.m. -- or passengers can opt to walk in at whim via the "Your Time Dining" option available at Black Pearl Restaurant. When the wait staff -- friendly and attentive as they are -- start singing and dancing, a signature Carnival twist, you know it is nearly time to leave. The Spendido Lido, a self-serve buffet that rises two levels on the Lido Deck, is a crowd-pleaser because of its uncommon variety and its proximity to the pools, hot tubs, water slide and sun decks. With capacity for nearly 1,400 diners, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and enough ocean views to go around.
Activities Details
The tri-level, 1,400-seat Spectacular Spectacular sets the stage for the main evening entertainment. The program kicks off with a "welcome aboard" song-and-dance performance, and rotates out several Broadway-style spectacles throughout the course of the cruise (typically with two seatings per night) that tout themes like the high-energy rock 'n' roll show, Epic Rock, and '80s Pop to the Max. In other evening time slots, the show lounge plays host to game show-style interactive events such as Hasbro, The Game Show. During the day, it stages orientations, lectures, Dr. Seuss Story Time, bingo games and more. The smaller aft-side 425-seat theatre/lounge El Morocco exudes an exotic Northern Africa-inspired aesthetic (animal prints, lanterns and tiles), with lounge-style entertainment anchored on evening comedy sets from Carnival's Punchliner Comedy Club program. Sailings rotate a changing roster of comedians who typically perform two nightly sets, one for families and ones for adults only.The 790 square-metre (8,500 square foot) Royal Flush has capacity for close to 500 gamers, comes with about 200 slot machines and plenty of casino prize games and gaming tables. The decor plays up the "royal flush" theme with a playing card motif that covers the ceiling and literally comes out of the walls with card-inspired sculptures.
