Carnival Cruise Line Opens Carnival Venezia Sailings For Late 2024

Carnival Cruise Line is opening sailings on Carnival Venezia, the newest ship in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, departing from Port Canaveral, Florida in late 2024. The cruise line is debuting its ‘Carnival Fun Italian Style’ experiences on the Carnival Venezia this season. 

In 2024, the ship will head south to Port Canaveral for the winter and return to New York in spring 2025. 

The sailings we’re opening today will allow us to share this new signature fun with more guests and bring another truly dynamic offering to one of our most popular homeports,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “Carnival Venezia’s seasonal operation in Port Canaveral will bring our deployment there to five vessels and give our valued Carnival guests another great option when sailing from Central Florida.”
