Melbourne is back on the map due to increased demand from the southern state, with Carnival offering roundtrip itineraries to New Zealand over 13 nights, South Pacific over 10 and 11 nights, and a popular 4-night trip south to Tasmania.

Fares on the Tasmania cruise sailing roundtrip from Melbourne aboard Carnival Legend February 27, 2019 start at US$700 per person twin share.
