Carnival Cruise Line extends partnership with Thunder for Two More BBL Seasons

The renewal follows a successful first season together, where Carnival brought its trademark fun and family-friendly energy to the Thunder Nation both on and off the field.

Sydney Thunder General Manager Trent Copeland said the continuation of the partnership was a reflection of shared values and a strong first year of collaboration.

“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Carnival Cruise Line for another two seasons. Carnival’s commitment to fun, family and creating unforgettable experiences aligns perfectly with what we aim to deliver for our members, fans, and wider community. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together in the seasons ahead.”

Carnival Cruise Line, renowned for delivering memorable holidays at sea, is equally excited to continue sailing alongside Sydney Thunder.

“Extending our partnership with Sydney Thunder is a natural fit after such a strong first season together,” said Anton Loeb, Carnival Cruise Line Senior Director of Sales & Marketing. “Whether it’s bringing joy to fans in the stands or guests on our ships, our mission is the same: creating lasting memories filled with energy and fun. We look forward to building on the success of last season and making the next two even bigger.”

To celebrate the partnership, Sydney Thunder and Carnival Cruise Line are giving fans the chance to win an unforgettable eight-night Tasmanian cruise aboard Carnival Adventure, departing Sydney on Monday 24 November 2025. Valued at $4,378, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is the perfect way to kickstart summer.

Sydney Thunder’s BBL|15 season will kick off in Hobart on December 16, before returning home to ENGIE Stadium in Western Sydney for the Sydney Smash on December 20.
