The 88,500 tonne "Carnival Spirit" will be the largest cruise ship ever to sail year round from Australia when she arrives in Sydney in October 2012 to operate a schedule of 8-12 day voyages to the Pacific Islands. The move represents the first time Carnival Cruise Lines has ever ventured into Australian waters and reflects growing confidence in cruising in the region.
Carrying 2,667 passengers, "Carnival Spirit" will be the first ship to be based in Sydney year round. Because of its height being too tall to pass under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, "Carnival Spirit" will be based at the only cruise facility east of the bridge, at the Circular Quay’s Overseas Passenger Terminal.
