12-Night Australia & Pacific Cruise on Carnival Encounter
For idyllic beaches, relaxed coastal towns and an abundance of varying cultures, theres no looking past Australia and the South Pacific. And the great thing about cruise is that you can visit so many different destinations in the one seamless itinerary. For South Pacific itineraries, cruises tend to depart from cruising hubs on the east coast of Australia, with options to visit New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Papua New Guinea. Some trans Pacific cruises also give you the opportunity to explore French Polynesia and the Tahitian islands. Locally, cruises offer some beautiful itinerary options. Explore the wilderness of Tasmania, beach hop in Queensland, or visit some of the highlights of Western Australias stunning coastline, just to name a few.
Book with a professional travel advisor and you may unlock more than what appears in a standard online search. Depending on the supplier and trip, your advisor may have access to preferred or agency-negotiated group rates, special promotions, upgrades, onboard or resort credits, and other added-value benefits that are not always available through direct booking.
During our consultation, we may ask for a few details—such as your country or state of residence, ZIP code, age eligibility, military status, past-guest history, or loyalty memberships. These details can help us identify fares and benefits you may qualify for and compare them against publicly available options.
Not every offer applies to every traveler, and availability varies by supplier, destination, sailing, travel dates, and eligibility. But the more we know about your trip and the qualifications that may apply to you, the more thoroughly we can search for opportunities to enhance your vacation and help you secure the best available overall value not just the first price you see online.
