Royal Caribbean's first ever private island in the South Pacific might actually be opening in 2027! The tiny island of Lelepa, Vanuatu, is set to be transformed into one of Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day beach retreats.

Recently, the cruise line had removed Lelepa from its list of private island destinations that are under construction. Now, RCI CEO and President, Michael Bayley, has provided an update.

CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE ANNOUNCES CARNIVAL SPLENDOR LIVERY UPDATES

Carnival Splendor Departs for Sydney Following Dry Dock Upgrades in Singapore

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 26, 2024 – Carnival Splendor has just completed her dry dock in Singapore, and Carnival Cruise Line is excited to unveil a sneak peek of her stunning new livery. The ship now features the red, white, and blue hull design introduced by Carnival in 2021. In addition, both sides of the ship also feature a distinctive Southern Cross design – a signature marking from the P&O Cruises Australia ships that will soon be joining the Carnival fleet.
Throughout history, the Southern Cross constellation helped early sailors find their way as they crossed oceans to reach Australia. The five stars were useful nighttime companions and became one of the first symbols of the Great Southern Land. By incorporating this design, Carnival Splendor will share that symbolic heritage with soon-to-be sister ships Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter that also display the Southern Cross on the bow, and which will be renamed Carnival Adventure and Carnival Explorer when they join the Carnival fleet in March 2025.
Carnival announced in June that it will transition the P&O Cruises Australia operations into the Carnival Cruise Line brand next year. Plans are underway for technology upgrades and other systems investments as Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter prepare to join the Carnival fleet. In anticipation of the changeover, Carnival has also been communicating with and offering positions to thousands of P&O Cruises Australia crew members effective when the ships join Carnival in March 2025

Please note my Australian colleagues will be sharing all of the changes within the ship that have taken place during dry dock in the coming days. And I will share them as soon as they do.
