Unmasked: Becoming Her – Women’s Retreat Cruise 2026

Sailing aboard Carnival Venezia • October 10–18, 2026
Hosted by Destinations by Nea

Step aboard a transformative journey where self-discovery meets sisterhood.

Join us for the 2026 Women’s Retreat Cruise: Unmasked – Becoming Her — a soul-nourishing week filled with laughter, learning, and luxury as we sail through the Caribbean on the elegant Carnival Venezia.

Inspired by the timeless Venetian tradition of grace and authenticity, this retreat invites you to remove the masks that hide your brilliance and step boldly into who God created you to be. Through engaging workshops, guided journaling, and shared moments of joy, you’ll reconnect with your true self — unfiltered, unshaken, and beautifully becoming her.

We’ll sail on a closed-loop voyage from Port Canaveral (Orlando, FL) with stops in the beautiful Southern Caribbean — including Bonaire, Aruba, and Carnival’s new exclusive island, Celebration Key!
Tell all your girls and join us for a celebration cruise aboard the Carnival Venezia! This is one women’s retreat you won’t want to miss.

About the Ship


 

About the Ship

What can you expect aboard this ship?
There’s more than a little Italy in this one — that’s why we’re calling this new type of cruising Fun Italian Style™.

It begins with the Venice-inspired atrium Piazza San Marco, and the Italian flavor continues at the three-course Marco Polo and Canal Grande Restaurants, La Strada Grill™, and fusion favorites like Tomodoro™ (Mexican-Italian) and Guy’s Burger Joint (now with Italian flavors!). Enjoy authentic dining at Il Viaggio, Carnival’s elevated Italian restaurant.

Sip and relax at themed bars including:

  • Amari™ – craft cocktails

  • Frizzante™ – bubbly bar with snacks & coffee

  • Rococó™ – frozen favorites

  • Carnevale Bar & Lounge™ – fine Italian wines

Entertainment awaits at the red-velvet Teatro Rosso, while Gondola Lounge captures the charm of Venice’s famous canals.
Upgrade to a Terrazza stateroom for access to Terrazza Carnevale, a private terrace deck made for lounging, sipping, and late-night fun.

You’ll still find all the Carnival classics you love — Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™, Bonsai Teppanyaki™, Piano Bar 88, Cloud 9 Spa™, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™, and family spaces like Camp Ocean™, Circle “C”®, and Club O2®. Outdoors, enjoy WaterWorks™ and SportSquare™ with a ropes course, mini golf, and jogging track.

Carnival Venezia and all this Fun Italian Style are sailing now… Andiamo!

    Itinerary:

     
  • Kralendijk, Bonaire

    All cruise ships calling to Bonaire Island dock at Kralendijk, the capital city of Bonaire Island in the Netherlands Antilles, Dutch Caribbean. The city's name means "coral reef" and Bonaire is an island country and one of the overseas territories of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (aka Holland). Bonaire is the second largest of the ABC islands in the Leeward Antilles group; Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

    Bonaire shore excursions to beaches.
  • Oranjestad, Aruba

    Aruba is known as "One Happy Island" for its stunning beaches, unique desert landscapes, and vibrant cultural heritage. Thousands flock to this Caribbean gem yearly to experience all it offers. Whether you're after adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, Aruba excursions promise once-in-a-lifetime experiences for cruisers. From snorkeling in sparkling Caribbean waters to exploring rugged terrain, there's something extraordinary for everyone.

    Nestled just north of Venezuela, Aruba spans 33 kilometers (about 21 miles) of breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality. Famous for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and landmarks like the California Lighthouse and Natural Bridge (which collapsed in 2005 but remains popular), offering raw beauty and cultural charm.

    Explore contrasting terrains-from the serene sands of Eagle Beach to the rugged cliffs of the North Coast, where Black Stone Beach and striking rock formations steal the show. A visit to Arikok National Park, which covers 20% of the island, reveals Aruba's wild side with volcanic rocks and hidden natural pools.

    Aruba excursions to the Caribbean. 
 

💳 Booking & Deposit Information

To make joining our Women’s Retreat Cruise 2026 – “Unmasked: Becoming Her” as simple as possible, you have two easy options for securing your cabin:

Gold Masquerade Masks Clip Art1. Standard Deposit – $250 per person (Refundable only for group rates--NO PROMOTIONS)

This option gives you full flexibility!
You can pay the regular $250 deposit per person now to lock in your stateroom.-Group Rates listed
This deposit is fully refundable until July 13, 2026.

Gold Masquerade Masks Clip Art2. Hold Your Spot for Only $50 per person

If you’d like to wait for a better deal or check your VIFP (Very Important Fun Person) promotions, you can place your booking on hold for just $50 per person instead of the full deposit. Casino offers are handled the same way but will exclude the group amenities.
If a special promotion becomes available that matches or improves your rate, I will personally contact you before completing your booking.

💡 Some Carnival promotions only require a $50 deposit per person — and occasionally, we see deals as low as $25 per person! (Single occupancy must cover full deposit for 2 persons)
Please note: Promotional deposits are non-refundable once applied to your reservation.
