Carnival Cruise Line Welcomes Carnival Venezia

Last night, Carnival Cruise Line celebrated the welcome event of its newest ship, Carnival Venezia with a ceremony in New York!

The ship was blessed by Carnival Venezia’s godfather and television personality Jay Leno. Leno also performed a special comedy show exclusively for Carnival Cruise Line’s event guests.

“By highlighting his own Italian heritage, Jay is helping us celebrate the Italian theming guests will experience when they cruise on this beautiful ship,” said Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line. “We’ve heard great reviews from guests who sailed on the ship’s transatlantic crossing, and now I am so happy to welcome our first guests joining us from New York to enjoy what’s in store for them.”
