Originally built for Costa Cruises as Costa Firenze, the ship was transferred to Carnival in 2024 as an Italian-themed ship. Its Renaissance Florence-inspired interiors and Italian-focused dining are distinctive. Since entering service, it has offered three- to four-night short cruises to the Bahamas, California, and Mexico. On January 4, 2027, it is scheduled to depart Long Beach on a long repositioning voyage to Miami; it will then operate Miami Caribbean cruises in winter, followed from May by New York departures from Manhattan to Bermuda and Canada. As a reasonably priced West Coast option, its value proposition is expected to reach its final stage in 2026.

A Florence-themed atrium and Italian dining create European flair, while Carnival-style facilities such as WaterWorks and kids' clubs remain. Short Mexican cruises from Long Beach are the focus, offering an easy Italian-inspired experience.
