Carnival Cruise Line is sending Carnival Venezia to Miami starting in May 2027, where it will offer a series of six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises.

Bookings are now open for 2027-28 sailings aboard Carnival Venezia, as well as Carnival Magic and Carnival Vista.

Carnival Venezia—the line’s “Fun Italian Style” ship—will head to Miami after a seasonal stay in Port Canaveral. It will stay in South Florida through April 2028, taking travelers to Celebration Key and popular destinations like Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Grand Turk, Amber Cove, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. 

Carnival Magic will continue homeporting in Miami, offering an expanded line-up of six- and eight-day cruises across the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean. Itineraries feature visits to Celebration Key, Amber Cove, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.

Carnival Vista will homeport in Port Canaveral and offer an expanded season of week-long itineraries to the Bahamas and the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Travelers can enjoy itineraries that take them to destinations like Celebration Key, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, Isla Tropicale, Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, San Juan, St. Maarten and St. Thomas.

“Carnival Venezia moving to Miami creates even more choice for our guests with longer itineraries to the most popular Caribbean destinations and adds a new flavor of fun with our ‘Italian Style’ experiences,” says Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “With Carnival Magic and Carnival Vista continuing to build on their strong popularity, the wide variety of sailings we’re opening today speaks to our commitment to guests who want convenient getaways from Florida.”
