Carnival Cruise Line is bringing over an Italian cruise ship from their sister line Costa Cruises. Costa Venezia will join Carnival’s fleet in 2023 and sail year round from New York City. 

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to take a cruise on Costa Venezia and it quickly became one of my favorite ships I have ever sailed on.  It is a Vista class ship but themed after the city of Venice, Italy.  Since the ship was originally built to sail in China, it has a nice upscale feel. Here is an inside look at Costa Venezia that will join Carnival Cruise Line’s fleet in 2023.
