Carry On Abroad is a 1972 British comedy film directed by Gerald Thomas, the 24th release in the series of 31 Carry On films (1958–1992).[1] The film features series regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth and Hattie Jacques. It was the 23rd and final Carry On appearance for Charles Hawtrey. June Whitfield returned after appearing in Carry On Nurse 13 years earlier. Jimmy Logan and Carol Hawkins made their first of two appearances in the series.

Along with the previous film in the series (Carry On Matron), it features the highest number of the regular Carry On team, and surpasses that if Terry Scott is included, who filmed a scene as an irate Wundatours customer; his scene was cut from the final film. The only other member missing is Jim Dale, who had left the series by this point, but would return for Carry On Columbus in 1992. The film was followed by Carry On Girls in 1973.
