Melbourne Cup roundtrip from Sydney

Pricing is based on departure date: 31 October 2027

Don your finest racing garb and saddle up, Carnival is offering Melbourne Cup cruises in the winners’ circle. Enjoy one of Australia’s favourite events: the Melbourne Cup Carnival, also known as the race that stops a nation™.

There’s no better way to get to the Melbourne Cup Carnival than aboard the Carnival Adventure cruise ship. And the fun and adventure begins as soon as the ship leaves its departure port on Sydney Harbour. Create a fascinator, enjoy the Phantom Cup Call, enjoy canapes by the waterslides, indulge in the themed cruise fare, and make the most of the activities based around one of Australia’s favourite events. 

It’s all systems go on your showstopping Melbourne Cup cruise from Sydney. Carnival provides six nights away (half of which you’ll be Melbourne based) and the chance for you to don your finest at the Cup.

CARNIVAL SPLENDOR

It’s hard to tell which onboard space best represents Carnival Splendor, they all seem to hint at the amazing time you’re going to have. El Morocco Lounge hosts comedy shows, musical performances, karaoke and more… and wears its 1930s namesake clearly on its nameplate. The words “Royal Flush Casino” incite visions of winning, while our onboard jazz club — The Cool — simply says it all without saying a word. And Fahrenheit 555™ can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the actual apex of the ship.

If you like your fun to flow, there are options aplenty. If you list “splishing” and “splashing” among your favorite things to do, there’s Carnival WaterWorks™. Those into sitting and sliding are invited to try the all-new Green Lightning thrill-slide. How about floating or swimming around? Carnival Splendor has pools all over the place, including the midship pool featuring a retractable roof that makes any day a pool day. So whether you splish or splash, you’ll find hydro-excitement galore.

If getting up and making the crowd go wild with your dance moves is your idea of a good time, Lip Sync Battle: Carnival is our idea of a great idea. Or if relaxation is more your thing, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is more your place. Or if you’re looking to take relaxation to the extreme, direct your attention to the Cloud 9 Spa, featuring more (and better) ways to kick back than just about anywhere else, on land or at sea. You haven’t lived until you’ve relaxed in a Thalassotherapy pool, or chilled — so to speak — in a dry heat chamber.
