Carnival Fun Italian Style

Where did these ships get all this cool Italian flair? Thank our sister line Costa Cruises (Grazie, sorella!), but the onboard fun makes these ships our own! There’s the new experiences inspired by Costa’s heritage, like exclusive Terrazza staterooms and great spots to sip like the Frizzante^™ wine bar or fun frozen drink spot Rococó^™… plus more great flavor in the form of Mex-Italian fusion at Tomodoro^™ and elevated Italian classics at Il Viaggio. Speaking of classics, you can also expect plenty of Carnival fan-faves among the onboard food, entertainment and service.

Get to Know Carnival Firenze

Long Beach is fun, but it isn't known as a hotspot of Italian culture… yet! In spring 2024, Carnival Firenze will debut, setting sail from this homeport towards south-of-the-border fun along Mexico's Pacific coast!

So, Long Beach, 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.

Long Beach! Carnival Firenze is sailing now from your sweet shores. Andiamo!
