Carnival Venezia has arrived for its inaugural visit to Port Canaveral ahead of a winter season sailing from the Florida port.
The ship’s time in Port Canaveral began with a four-day Bahamas itinerary, followed by a schedule of 15 week-long Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings, as well as two 14-day ‘Carnival Journeys’ voyages.
“Our Venice-themed ship adds another truly dynamic offering, with a fresh Italian twist on our signature Carnival fun plus the same friendly service our guests love, and further enriches the variety of convenient options available to our loyal guests cruising from Orlando,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Our guests who sailed with Carnival Venezia from New York love the ship and its new experiences, and we know that she will add even more value to the Carnival offering in her new winter home at Port Canaveral.”
Carnival Venezia becomes the fifth Carnival ship to homeport at Port Canaveral, joining Mardi Gras, Carnival Vista, Carnival Glory and Carnival Freedom. Together, the ships offer itineraries ranging from three- and four-day Bahamas cruises to longer five-to-eight day sailings across the Caribbean.
Venezia will sail from Port Canaveral into the spring before returning to New York City with an 11-day repositioning cruise that departs on 11 May 2025. It will then continue to sail seasonally from New York and Port Canaveral.
