Carnival Cruise Line has announced its 2027-2028 deployment plans which include Carnival Firenze and Carnival Splendor’s new itineraries.

“This deployment brings together flexibility, variety and distinctive cruise experiences for our guests from iconic cities around the world,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line in a statement.

She added, “Carnival Firenze, arriving in New York for the first time to replace Carnival Venezia, brings our Fun Italian Style to the market in a fresh way. Combined with Carnival Splendor’s exciting sailings that include visits to Singapore, these additions showcase how we continue to grow our lineup in meaningful ways.”

In addition to recently announced sailings from Miami through mid-May 2027, Carnival Firenze’s 2027/28 deployment schedule now includes a special 11-day Carnival Journeys Southern Caribbean sailing departing from Miami on May 16, 2027, before heading to its new homeport in New York City. The one-time sailing features visits to Celebration Key, Grand Bahama; Aruba; Curaçao; and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Following its arrival in New York on May 27, 2027, Carnival Firenze will offer an extensive lineup of cruises from Manhattan, including four- and five-day cruises to either Bermuda or Canada, along with a special five-day sailing on Aug. 19, 2027, visiting New England and Canada and calling on Portland, Maine and Saint John, Canada.

The ‘Fun Italian Style’ ship also offers a range of longer itineraries, including a seven-day cruise with three consecutive days in Bermuda, and a variety of eight-day Eastern Caribbean cruises visiting Celebration Key, Grand Turk and RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.  

During her 2027/28 season, Carnival Splendor will offer four new itineraries that include a three-day featuring two sea days, a four-day to Moreton Island, Australia, and two Carnival Journeys Southeast Asia sailings to Singapore and back following her dry dock.

The first 15-day Carnival Journeys departs on July 31, 2027, from Sydney with port stops in Moreton Island, Airlie Beach and Cairns, Australia; Lembar Lombok, Indonesia and Benoa (Denpasar), Bali before ending with a sea day crossing the Equator. The following 16-day return sailing to Sydney offers the same itinerary, with the addition of a call on Darwin, Australia.
