Fun Italian Style: a Venice-themed ship sailing from New York, Port Canaveral and Miami.
Best for: Guests in the Northeast and Florida who want an Italian-styled ship with Carnival’s casual fun, especially couples who book Terrazza rooms for the private deck and anyone eyeing the 14-day Southern Caribbean journeys from Port Canaveral. Sails from New York, Port Canaveral, Miami in 2026 and 2027.
Carnival Venezia was built by Fincantieri in 2019 as Costa Venezia, a ship designed around the city of Venice, and joined Carnival in 2023 after a refit in Spain. Carnival kept the Italian design and layered on its own restaurants, bars and shows, a blend it calls Fun Italian Style. At 135,225 gross tons she carries 4,090 guests at double occupancy with 1,424 crew and is 1,061 feet long.
The Venice theme is everywhere: guests board into the Piazza San Marco atrium, dine in the Marco Polo and Canal Grande restaurants, drink Italian wines in the Carnevale Bar & Lounge and watch Playlist Productions in the red-and-gold Teatro Rosso. Il Viaggio serves traditional Italian dinners, Tomodoro mixes Mexican and Italian, and the Terrazza staterooms come with a private sun deck called Terrazza Carnevale. Carnival favorites such as WaterWorks, SportSquare, Serenity, Guy’s Burger Joint and Fahrenheit 555 are all on board.
In 2026 she sails from New York through early October on 4- to 9-night cruises to Bermuda, Canada and the Eastern Caribbean, then moves to Port Canaveral from October 2026 to May 2027 for 7- to 14-night Southern, Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises. For summer 2027 she repositions to Miami, with Carnival Firenze taking over her New York season. She suits guests who want a European-styled ship with Carnival’s casual approach.

Serenity, Spa, Bar.
SerenitySomebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's pretty much exactly the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. Look, you'll still be on the same ship as the kids, the hoopla, and all the Carnival-style excitement… but you could easily forget, because when you’re at Serenity you could not be further from it all.
SpaCarnival want to let you know that your Carnival cruise contains a Medi-spa.Certainly not saying that you need them, but if you’ve been thinking about Botox or Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them.
Mini GolfWhoever it was, they had one thing in mind maximum fun for mini-golfers, big and small!
Ropes CourseAn awesome ropes course, however, will let you do all that with a cool sea breeze and a view to match!

Fitness CenterSome bad news for you — your ship has a gym. In other words, there’s no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That’s great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you.
Cloud 9 SpaSitting at home, it’s hard to imagine that, but trust it — it’s really, really nice to have a place to unwind from the day’s excitement. Escape to a world designed, from the ground up, for relaxation.
Carnival WaterworksWanna splish — and splash — the day away? Head on over to WaterWorks™, Carnival's onboard waterpark. First up, there's the Twister Waterslide™, hundreds of feet of spiraling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere.
Mini GolfAh, imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but well-manicured fairway... plus one cactus, a treasure chest... and wait, is that a windmill in the way?
Jogging TrackJogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don’t have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise.
FitnessYou can have all the will in the world, a great attitude that keeps you working hard at the gym, but still not see the results you’re hoping for. If that’s the case — or you’re just looking to shake things up with a little extra fun or challenge in your workout — check out Carnival’s selection of onboard fitness classes.
Dr. Seuss BookvilleImagine a library inspired by Dr. Seuss. Now you can enjoy it on a Carnival cruise.
Camp OceanThe little ones can enjoy the best parts of summer camp, year-round aboard their Carnival cruise. At Camp Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label.
Sports CourtYour Carnival cruise may take you far, far away from the competitive daily rat-race, but you’ll find an oasis of friendly competition at SportSquare™. Take on friends at mini-golf, battle strangers at basketball, or push yourself to new heights at the Ropes Course... or to record-setting low times at the jogging track.
Deck 10
Cafe, Lido Marketplace, Pizzeria Del Capitano, Seafood Shack, Burano Pool and Bar, Pool and Spa.
Rococo BarEnjoy some cool Italian flavors in the Limoncello Kiss or Bellini Sparkle… or layer on the flavor with mixes like the Miami Vice or Italian Flag. Freddo!
Lido Market PlaceFeaturing an amazing variety of casual dining spots, each just a few flip-flopped steps from the last, Lido Marketplace always has a special something ready to satisfy your latest craving spectacularly.
Seafood ShackA good seafood dish is quite the catch. However you like yours served — whether it’s on a roll or a platter — Seafood Shack’s™ the place to cast your net. Imagine a New-England-style seaside spot where you can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view.
Pizzeria Del CapitanoOn Carnival ships, the captain tends to be kind of a big deal — almost a celebrity. On a few select ships, they’ve even got their own pizza spot. The best news? Pizzeria del Capitano is open all day, and late into the night… and you’re invited.

PoolPOOL DAY! Whether today's the day for a bit of a dip, a dash of splash or even some swimming — or just a serious poolside lounging session — your Carnival cruise has just the pool for you.

Carnival Venezia questions we answer every day
How big is Carnival Venezia?
Carnival Venezia measures 135,225 gross tons and is 1,061 feet long. Carnival lists 4,090 guests at double occupancy and 1,424 crew. She was built by Fincantieri in Italy in 2019 as Costa Venezia and joined Carnival in 2023 after a refit at Navantia in Cadiz, Spain. Her sister ship is Carnival Firenze, which joined in 2024.
What does Fun Italian Style mean?
It is Carnival’s name for keeping the Venice-inspired design of the ship, from the Piazza San Marco atrium to the Marco Polo and Canal Grande restaurants, Teatro Rosso and the Gondola Lounge, while adding Carnival restaurants, bars, Playlist Productions and the Fun Squad. The result feels more European than other Carnival ships but runs on the same casual, family-friendly program.
What are Terrazza staterooms?
Terrazza rooms are Carnival Venezia’s version of the Havana program. Terrazza Interior, Premium Balcony, Premium Vista Balcony, Aft-View Extended Balcony and Terrazza Cabana rooms include access to Terrazza Carnevale, a private sun deck with whirlpools, drinks and entertainment, plus morning use of the Carnevale Lounge and robes. All guests in a Terrazza room must be 12 or older.
What is included in the fare?
The fare covers the Marco Polo and Canal Grande dining rooms, Lido Marketplace, Pizzeria del Capitano, La Strada Grill, Guy’s Burger Joint, Tomodoro, Swirls, the Teatro Rosso shows, comedy, WaterWorks, SportSquare, Serenity and the kids clubs. Il Viaggio, Fahrenheit 555, Bonsai, Seafood Shack, Frizzante, JavaBlue, drinks, the spa and Wi-Fi are extra.
Where does Carnival Venezia sail in 2026 and 2027?
She sails from New York’s Manhattan Cruise Terminal through early October 2026 on cruises of 4 to 9 nights to Bermuda, Canada and the Eastern Caribbean. From October 2026 to May 2027 she is based in Port Canaveral for 7- to 14-night Southern, Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises, then moves to Miami for summer 2027 while Carnival Firenze takes over the New York season.
Is Carnival Venezia a good choice for families?
Yes. She has WaterWorks slides, a SportSquare ropes course, Camp Ocean, Circle C and Club O2, Guy’s Burger Joint and Swirls, and cabin options such as porthole and upper/lower interiors that keep family fares down. Adults get the Terrazza deck, Serenity, the Cloud 9 Spa and the Italian bars, so the ship works well for multigenerational groups.
