Carnival Firenze Inaugural Season Opens For Bookings

Carnival Cruise Line’s new ship, Carnival Firenze, will set sail in May 2024. The cruise line has opened bookings for her inaugural season.

On March 23, 2023, Carnival Cruise Line opened reservations for the inaugural season of its next new ship, Carnival Firenze. The ship will begin sailing year-round from Long Beach, California starting in May 2024 through April 2025.

“Carnival Firenze is named after the spectacular city of Florence, Italy. She was designed to evoke the same charm and beauty found in Florence and she’ll also pack in plenty of Carnival fun, which will be brought to life by the friendly and dedicated team members that make cruises across our fleet memorable,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

“This truly stunning ship will serve as a great new cruise vacation option from Long Beach, joining Carnival Panorama and Radiance, and offering a range of sailing lengths to Baja Mexico and the Mexican Riviera,” Duffy continued in a press release.

About Carnival Firenze

Carnival Firenze will be the second ship to showcase the brand’s all-new Carnival Fun Italian Style experiences, which will debut with the May 2023 arrival of Carnival Venezia.

Carnival says that Carnival Fun Italian Style will incorporate the cruise line’s signature fun and friendly crew and familiar venues—along with several new, creative concepts. The ships will feature Italian-themed restaurants, bars, and entertainment with a backdrop of unique architectural designs.
