The 4,200-passenger Carnival Firenze will join the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet in spring 2024 from sister line Costa Cruises.

The ship will sail from Long Beach, California, offering a variety of itineraries year-round, heading for destinations in Baja, California and the Mexican Riviera. Detailed itineraries and onboard offerings will be announced shortly.

"We embark more guests from California than any other cruise line, and soon Carnival Firenze will provide a great new option for them," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

"When the ship joins our fleet, she's going to bring our valued guests a new experience that complements our signature fun with the ship's spectacular Italian atmosphere."

The ship will feature the cruise line's new Carnival Fun Italian Style experience, which debuts with the June 2023 arrival of Carnival Venezia in New York. The concept incorporates Carnival’s signature high-energy environment and many familiar venues, plus several new, creative concepts including Italian-themed restaurants, bars and entertainment.
