CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE ADDS ‘FUN ITALIAN STYLE’ SEASON TO PORT CANAVERAL WITH NEW CARNIVAL VENEZIA SAILINGS OPENING IN 2024
Carnival Venezia to Reposition from New York to Florida on the “Snowbird” Winter Series
As Carnival Cruise Line prepares to roll out the new ‘Carnival Fun Italian Style’ on its latest addition to the fleet, Carnival Venezia, the cruise line is opening up the ship’s future itinerary which includes several departures from Port Canaveral, FL. The ship will head south in the winter of 2024-25 like millions of others in the Northeastern North, before returning to New York in late 2025.
“The cruises we’re opening today will allow us to share this new experience with more guests and bring another strong offering to one of our most popular ports of call,” said Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line. “Carnival Venezia’s seasonal operation at Port Canaveral will bring our deployment there to five ships and give our beloved Carnival guests another great option when traveling from Central Florida.”
Carnival Venezia will also depart from New York with a 12-day Southern Caribbean Carnival Journeys Cruise departing Dec. 6, 2024. This sea visits St. Thomas, St. Croix, Aruba, Curacao, and Grand Turk before arriving at Port Canaveral on Dec. 18, 2024.
The ship will pick up its first guests from Port Canaveral that same day and depart for a four-day trip to the Bahamas, visiting Nassau and Freeport, to begin its fifth voyage. It will run 15 seven-day tours, round trips and visits to various famous places. It will also sail two special 14-day Carnival Journeys.
After a seasonal deployment in Florida, the ship will return to New York at the end of 2025.
