Originally built as Costa Venezia for sister-brand Costa Cruises, the Carnival Venezia seamlessly blends Carnival's signature fun with a distinct Italian flair, sailing primarily out of its homeports in Port Canaveral, Florida, and New York City. Its itineraries offer a wide range of getaways, from tropical escapes to the Eastern, Western, and Southern Caribbean or The Bahamas, to scenic, seasonal voyages exploring Bermuda and Canada/New England. Onboard, the ship is packed with unique highlight features, including the stunning Piazza San Marco atrium designed to mimic the famous Venetian square, and the elegant Teatro Rosso, a theater with marbled columns and velvet seats hosting immersive stage productions. Guests looking for an upgraded experience can book staterooms with access to the Terrazza Carnevale, an exclusive terraced deck offering private lounging and whirlpools, while thrill-seekers can head up to the top deck to brave the twisting slides at the sprawling WaterWorks waterpark.
