Carnival Cruise Line’s ‘Italian Style’ ship Carnival Venezia is officially in Florida for the winter season. The vessel arrived in Port Canaveral today, marking its inaugural arrival at the eastern Florida port.
The ship is set to start a seasonal series of cruises to the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mexico. Carnival’s winter deployment makes it the first and only cruise line to operate five ships from Port Canaveral.
Carnival Venezia arrived in Port Canaveral from a 12-day Carnival Journeys cruise that began in New York, where it has been sailing from since its summer 2023 debut. The vessel is themed after her namesake city, Venice, and provides guests with a variety of “Carnival Fun Italian Style” experiences and unique dining and beverage concepts. Cruises from Port Canaveral kick off today with a special four-day Bahamas getaway. The season will continue with 15 week-long eastern and western Caribbean sailings as well as two special 14-day Carnival Journeys voyages.
Carnival’s other ships sailing from Port Canaveral are Mardi Gras, Carnival Vista, Carnival Glory, and Carnival Freedom. Together, the vessels offer a variety of three to eight day sailings, as well as longer Carnival Journeys voyages.
In addition to signature Carnival venues guests know and love like Guy’s Burger Joint, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, and Bonsai Sushi & Teppanyaki, Carnival Venezia features new Fun Italian Style dining and beverage options such as the specialty restaurant “Il Viaggio,” with thoughtfully curated dishes that showcase distinct regions of Italy, as well as the unique sparkling wine and spritz bar Frizzante.
Carnival Venezia will sail from Port Canaveral into the spring and return to New York City with an 11-day repositioning cruise that departs May 11, 2025. Carnival’s sailing schedule is open through spring 2027, and Carnival Venezia will continue to sail seasonally from New York City and Port Canaveral.
