CruiseInsiderWhat makes it different
Originally built for Costa's Chinese market as Costa Venezia, the ship was repositioned to Carnival Cruise Line, keeping an Italian theme throughout under the 'Fun Italian Style' concept.
- Piazza San Marco, a Venice-inspired atrium
- Italian dining at Il Viaggio, Canal Grande and La Strada Grill
- Terrazza staterooms with access to a private outdoor deck
Who it suits
Travellers who enjoy an Italian-themed atmosphere combined with classic Carnival entertainment, sailing short Caribbean itineraries.
Some signage and design details still reflect the ship's original Costa Venezia build; the Italian theme is intentional, not leftover branding.
