CARNIVAL Australia launched its Aussie cruise season yesterday, with the arrival of Princess Cruises’ Majestic Princess into Sydney in the morning, and its departure for Brisbane at night.
Slated to be a record season, with 625 calls to 34 ports around the country, Carnival celebrated with a fun-filled event at the Museum of Contemporary Art in The Rocks overlooking Majestic.
Speaking at the celebration, Carnival Australia President Sture Myrmell spoke of his excitement for the company’s summer season.
“We’re going to have 19 ships sailing in the local waters… there’s variety, there’s something for everyone, there’s a cruise line, a cruise product for everyone, regardless of what you’re looking for,” Myrmell told Cruise Weekly.
“We’re making 50 maiden calls…in total, we will contribute about $440 million to communities throughout Australia, and it’s not just major homeports like Sydney that benefit, it’s all the regional ports throughout the country.
“It’s also important to acknowledge that it’s not jut about the summer, we’re here year-round, we have eight ships that operate for the full year out of Australia.”
