## Boarding, atmosphere, and links

Checked: 2026-07-03

### Boarding and logistics

- Japan departures: No
- Home ports: Miami (Florida, USA), New York (Manhattan/Brooklyn)
- Departure ports: Miami, New York

### Atmosphere and guests

- All ages
- A large family ship, former Costa Venezia refitted in Carnival style as 'Fun Italian Style.' A Venice-themed atrium and Italian dining create European glamour, while it also has facilities typical of Carnival, such as WaterWorks and kids' clubs. Relics of the Costa era remain, including the pool with a Magrodome and the Terrazza cabins.
- Mainly operates Caribbean and Bahamas cruises from Miami, and Bermuda and Canada/New England itineraries from New York. The clientele is primarily from the U.S. East Coast, with families and couples who enjoy the Italian theme.
