Bookings for Carnival Legend’s inaugural Aussie season have now opened as further details of her upgrades are announced.

Carnival Legend will be welcoming a host of new features onboard before she hits the shores Down Under including the line’s ever-popular ‘Red Frog Pub’ which will be serving up Carnival’s own Red Frog beer; ‘Bonsai Sushi’ for those Japanese cravings; and ‘Cherry On Top’ to satisfy all of those sweet toothed cruisers.

The exhilarating speed slide, ‘Green Thunder’ will also make an appearance onboard following the popularity of the attraction aboard her sister ship Carnival Spirit, along with some Aussification elements including; Australian power points; no tipping; retrained baristas and popular coffee options; and Australian terminology throughout (so there’ll be no shrimp on the menu)!

“We’re grateful for the support of our travel agents, as it’s their enthusiastic and ongoing support that’s allowed us to bring a second ship into this market,” Carnival Cruise Lines director for Australia and New Zealand Jennifer Vandekreeke said.

Ms Vandekreeke also expressed her pride at the high percentage of first time cruisers who had chosen to pop their cruise cherry with Carnival Spirit since her arrival in October last year.

Carnival Legend will set sail out of Sydney in September 2014.
