Here, visitors will discover an extraordinary mix of modern culture and ancient tradition unlike anywhere else. Sprawling, modern shopping meccas stand beside serene palace gardens and the bright lights of the modern city are mysteriously reconciled with traditional architecture and culture.

No visit to Tokyo is complete without experiencing the fascinating culture and history. Stand in awe in front of the monumental bronze statue of Amida Buddah, believed to date back to 1252, or visit the Sensoji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple.

Day 15: Singapore
Embark on an unforgettable journey to Singapore with a Carnival Cruise. Each cruise getaway begins or ends with the Singapore Harbour, a destination that every cruise lover should experience. The cruise showcases the elegance of Singapore, with highlights including the world-renowned Orchard Road, the awe-inspiring Marina Bay, and the tranquil Botanical Gardens. This Southeast Asia cruise package promises to leave you spellbound. But with Carnival Cruise Line, the journey is about more than just the destination. It's about immersing yourself in exciting onboard activities, savouring a variety of dining options, and diving into the thrilling adventures you've always dreamed of on the best cruise ship.

Carnival Luminosa® is new to the Carnival fleet… and we’d say this ship is all set to make a first impression.

Guests setting sail on Carnival Luminosa can expect hospitality and fun that's pure, unmistakable Carnival, with so many fan-favorite onboard features like the flavors of Alchemy Bar®, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and RedFrog® Rum Bar; the entertainment of Playlist Productions™, Piano Bar 88 and The Punchliner™ Comedy Club; plus the relaxation of Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity™. And when you’re indoors, you can still expect great views and lots of natural light — the ship was built with plenty of windows.

So when you choose to sail on Carnival Luminosa, can we just say… great choice! There’s just one more decision to make: is Australia or Alaska more your cruising style? We ask because this world-traveling ship will kick things off sailings from Australia in the summer months with plenty of itinerary options… before heading to Seattle for a summer of Alaska cruises. And when the ship’s heading from one region to the other, we take the opportunity to sail unique Transpacific itineraries that stop in spots like Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Japan and more. So, what we’re saying is… with scenery like this, you’re gonna put those windows to good use!

Why Carnival?

Cause we're just as fun as you, of course!
