Carnival Cruises from Auckland

Carnival is bringing the fun to Auckland in 2027, with Carnival Adventure sailing a limited season direct from New Zealand — and it’s already shaping up to be one of the hottest cruise releases we’ve seen.

Running May to July 2027, this exclusive season features a small number of sailings, from quick 4-night escapes to Norfolk Island (a rare and unique itinerary), through to longer South Pacific holidays visiting favourites like Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia — all roundtrip from Auckland.

No flights, no hassle — just step onboard and start your holiday the moment you leave port.

With Carnival’s signature mix of relaxed fun, great value dining, entertainment and family-friendly experiences, these cruises are perfect for couples, groups and families alike. Combine that with limited departures and strong Kiwi demand, and this season is expected to sell out fast.
