August 27, 2025
Bookings are now open for 2027 voyages aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Italian-themed ship Carnival Firenze.
At the beginning of 2027, Carnival Firenze will offer three South America sailings: a 15-day voyage from Long Beach to San Antonio (Santiago), Chile; a 14-Day cruise from Santiago, Chile, to Buenos Aires, Argentina; and a 16-day itinerary Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Miami.
Then, starting in February 2027, Carnival Firenze will homeport in Miami and offer cruises to The Bahamas, as well as the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean.
The ship will be based in Miami until May 2027, when it will reposition to New York for the summer of 2027.
Regarding Carnival Firenze 2027 voyages, “Carnival Firenze is a beautiful ship and our plan to bring her east creates a perfect opportunity to offer our guests sailings to culture-rich destinations,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
“The South America journeys we’ve opened today truly stand out even among our already impressive lineup of Carnival Journeys cruises that combine our signature fun with spectacular longer itineraries,” Duffy continued.

If you’re wondering what to expect from Fun Italian Style™? Grab your movie star sunglasses and throw on a scarf — just for style — as you make your entrance at Piazza Duomo, named for Florence’s iconic domed cathedral. To get a taste for onboard flavor and flair, check out spots like the elegant three-course Michelangelo and Medici Restaurants, traditional Italian foods, cocktails and more at Il Viaggio, plus Italian street food spot La Strada Grill™. You’re even going to find an Italian market, Il Mercato, featuring faves like sauced-up meatballs, sandwiches with inspiration from Italy and beyond, plus sausages and salads. And since we’re always authentic… most of the time, you can enjoy the fusion-y goodness of Mexican-Italian Tomodoro™ plus Guy’s Burger Joint, which now features classics and burgers with Italian twists.
For refreshment served up in a glass, look to cocktail bar Amari™, frozen drinks with a bit of attitude at Rococó™, Frizzante™ with its three specialties (bubbly drinks, snacks and coffee!), plus classic Italian cocktails and martinis with surprising and fashionable twists (and live music too!) at Moda Bar and Lounge™. Even more spots for entertainment include the classic-theater vibe of Teatro Rosso featuring Playlist Productions shows, and Tuscan Lounge paying tribute to Florence’s iconic home region. Let’s not forget Terrazza staterooms — we could never! — which give you a stylish, comfy place to unwind from all the fun… near a private deck featuring exclusive amenities like all-day lounging at Terrazza Moda home to great views, drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more.
While we’re excited about the Italian side of this ship, it’s not the whole story. Carnival has some true fan-favorites we knew folks would be asking for. That’s why Carnival Firenze also includes familiar flavors like Bonsai Teppanyaki™ and Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™. Places to celebrate absolutely anything (or just nothing!) include Piano Bar 88 and Serenity Bar, while you can seriously kick back at Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. Kids are going to love Camp Ocean™, Circle “C”® and Club O2® — each one is perfectly designed for a different age group. And if active/splashy fun is your thing, that’s honestly a great thing and we can tell you’re going to be spending time at WaterWorks™ and SportSquare™, home to a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf course and outdoor fitness center.
