Valued at $5,416, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is the perfect way to kickstart summer. The competition will launch Thursday 21st at 4pm, giving fans plenty of time to enter.
James Rosengarten, General Manager of the Melbourne Renegades, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering great family entertainment.
“It’s great to have Carnival Cruise Line join the Renegades family. They’re all about creating fun, memorable experiences – which is exactly what we aim to deliver on and off the field,” he said.
“Whether it’s the energy of a Big Bash matchday or the excitement of setting off on a holiday at sea, we want our fans to feel part of something they’ll remember. This partnership is another way we can make that happen.”
Anton Loeb, Senior Director Sales & Marketing at Carnival Cruise Line, said:
“The Renegades have an incredible connection with their fans, and we are excited to bring Carnival’s signature fun and vibrant energy to gamedays and beyond. From activations to exclusive fan offers and competitions, we look forward to creating unforgettable moments that fans and their families can enjoy together, both in the stadium and at sea."
