Within the Carnival shipping group, two ships will change operators: The Costa Venezia and the Costa Firenze will be operated by Carnival Cruise Line in the future. The first ship is scheduled to be handed over in spring 2023 and the second in the course of 2024.

Not much should change for the passengers, however, because the two cruise ships will be marketed as "Costa by Carnival" in the future. There is a reason for this, because Italian flair should be made palatable to the US market. Nevertheless, there may be changes to the tours. You will be informed about this in the next few weeks.

"This is an exciting opportunity for us to operate two more beautiful Vista Class ships in the United States and to offer a unique experience to those who love the culture, food and atmosphere of Italy," said Carnival President Christine Duffy .
