Carnival Venezia

It’s a long way from Venice to NYC, but Carnival Venezia thinks the two could be next-door neighbors. This ship sails from its Big Apple homeport, year-round, starting in spring 2023! And what can NYC find in this ship? Well, there’s more than a little Italy in this one — that’s why we’re calling this new type of cruising Fun Italian Style™. It starts with the Venice-inspired atrium Piazza San Marco, the onboard flavor and flair continues at restaurants like the elegant three-course Marco Polo and Canal Grande Restaurants, La Strada Grill and its Italian street food, plus fusion spots Tomodoro (Mexican-Italian, yum!) and Guy’s Burger Joint (new burgers with Italian flavors — also yum!). Sip well at bars that each specialize in their own thing: complex and sophisticated cocktails at Amari, bubbly stuff (plus snacks and coffee) at Frizzante, frozen everything at Rococó and fine Italian wines at Carnevale Bar & Lounge. There’s great entertainment at the red-velvety Teatro Rosso and its Playlist Productions™ shows, plus Gondola Lounge was inspired by the famous canals of Venice. Terrazza staterooms are a whole new way to stay in style and comfort, all in a great location close to amenities like the exclusive Terrazza Carnevale, a private terrace deck made for lounging, sipping and fun, day or night!
