For the past five years, Carnival Cruise Line has had the Carnival Spirit sailing year round from Sydney, Australia. On a seasonal basis the Carnival Legend would be deployed in Australia too. However, Carnival has announced a major change to its Australia lineup that involves the Carnival Splendor being deployed to Sydney starting in December 2019.
Currently, the Carnival Splendor is scheduled to have a maiden voyage from Sydney in December 2019. According to Carnival's press release this will follow a repositioning cruise from Singapore.
Prior to its new deployment from Sydney, the Carnival Splendor will undergo a major dry-dock that will involve adding a new waterpark as well as features geared towards Australian cruisers. No additional details about this dry-dock were available at the time of writing.
The Carnival Spirit's new homeport has not yet been announced, but Carnival will probably make an announcement soon.
