Carnival Adventure is a Grand-class cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. The ship was previously named Golden Princess and Pacific Adventure. She was built by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri at Monfalcone, delivered in 2001, and christened by Merlisa George in Saint Thomas in April 2002. While operating as Golden Princess, she has sailed to all seven continents, beginning with her debut in Southampton in May 2001, followed by seasonal deployments serving regions around the Caribbean Sea and Europe. In 2007, she circumnavigated South America and debuted along the West Coast of the United States before also sailing around ports in Asia and Oceania bordering the Pacific Ocean until 2020. In 2017, Carnival Corporation announced Golden Princess would be transferred from Princess to sister brand P&O Cruises Australia as a part of P&O's fleet renewal. As Pacific Adventure, sailing itineraries included those around Oceania along with her sister ship Pacific Encounter. In 2024, Carnival Corporation announced that P&O would be integrated into its sister line, Carnival Cruise Line, in March 2025 and cease to exist. As of March 2025, Pacific Adventure was transferred to Carnival and renamed Carnival Adventure respectively.
