Grinchmas in July is Back – Carnival Style!
Christmas is coming early, and it’s crashing the middle of your Aussie winter getaway! That’s right – Grinchmas in July is back on board Carnival Cruise Line, and this year it’s bigger, greener, and more festive than ever before. Whether you're sailing from Sydney or Brisbane, you can join the Grinch and friends for a cruise filled with Seuss-inspired fun, snowflakes, and a whole lot of mischief.
What is Grinchmas in July?
Think snowy Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and festive vibes – all while you cruise the Australian coast or the South Pacific. On select July sailings, Carnival ships will be transformed into magical winter wonderlands. And yes, there will be real snow in the atrium!
Expect special appearances from the Grinch himself (who may or may not try to steal Christmas again), surprise guests from the North Pole, and themed activities the whole family will love. It’s all part of Carnival’s partnership with Dr. Seuss – bringing beloved characters and stories to life at sea.
Here’s What’s Included:
-
Meet & Greet with the Grinch (and some surprise friends!)
-
Magical Holiday Show with festive performances
-
Tree-lighting Ceremony with a snow-dusted Christmas tree
-
Ugly Christmas Sweater Competition – don’t forget to pack your worst!

Christmas-themed food, drinks, and entertainment throughout the cruise
