It is just 10 months since the Ruby Princess disaster and cruise company Carnival is gearing up for another cruising season.

According to the Courier Mail, Carnival is hoping to resume cruises from Sydney to Brisbane in late April, and has seen a 400% demand in voyages to Queensland because international trips are delayed.

The proposed Queensland trips would include stopping at Cairns, Port Douglas, Airlie Beach and Moreton Island.

Carnival Australia vice-president Jennifer Vandekreeke told the Courier Mail:

We are going to be back with bells on.

We’re still in the hands of the state and federal governments, but there is already a lot of excitement about getting cruising back.

We’re getting a great response on bookings and we know there’s lots of passengers who can’t wait for us to come back so that’s really exciting.
