Carnival Firenze®

If you're wondering what to expect from Fun Italian Style™? Grab your movie star sunglasses and throw on a scarf — just for style — as you make your entrance at Piazza Duomo, named for Florence's iconic domed cathedral. To get a taste for onboard flavor and flair, check out spots like the elegant three-course Michelangelo and Medici Restaurants, traditional Italian foods, cocktails and more at Il Viaggio, plus Italian street food spot La Strada Grill™. You're even going to find an Italian market, Il Mercato, featuring faves like sauced-up meatballs, sandwiches with inspiration from Italy and beyond, plus sausages and salads. And since we're always authentic… most of the time, you can enjoy the fusion-y goodness of Mexican-Italian Tomodoro™ plus Guy's Burger Joint, which now features classics and burgers with Italian twists.

For refreshment served up in a glass, look to cocktail bar Amari™, frozen drinks with a bit of attitude at Rococó™, Frizzante™ with its three specialties (bubbly drinks, snacks and coffee!), plus classic Italian cocktails and martinis with surprising and fashionable twists (and live music too!) at Moda Bar and Lounge™. Even more spots for entertainment include the classic-theater vibe of Teatro Rosso featuring Playlist Productions shows, and Tuscan Lounge paying tribute to Florence's iconic home region. Let's not forget Terrazza staterooms — we could never! — which give you a stylish, comfy place to unwind from all the fun… near a private deck featuring exclusive amenities like all-day lounging at Terrazza Moda home to great views, drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more.

While we're excited about the Italian side of this ship, it's not the whole story. Carnival has some true fan-favorites we knew folks would be asking for. () That's why Carnival Firenze also includes familiar flavors like Bonsai Teppanyaki™ and Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™. Places to celebrate absolutely anything (or just nothing!) include Piano Bar 88 and Serenity Bar, while you can seriously kick back at Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. Kids are going to love Camp Ocean™, Circle “C”® and Club O2® — each one is perfectly designed for a different age group. And if active/splashy fun is your thing, that's honestly a great thing and we can tell you're going to be spending time at WaterWorks™ and SportSquare™, home to a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf course and outdoor fitness center.

Iconic colorfully lit buildings and palm trees in Miami, FL

Day 1: Miami

Departs at 4:30 PM

Dreaming of an island vacation? Make your dreams a reality with one of Carnival’s year-round cruises from Miami. Because it’s so close to the Caribbean and The Bahamas, Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world. But it’s more than just convenient — rev up for your cruise from Miami with the city’s nonstop action, from party-ready South Beach to the Mediterranean style of Coral Gables, plus spicy Little Havana, which hums to an island beat. Once you’ve experienced all the South Florida architectural beauty, energetic street life and sun-kissed beaches, you may want to extend your stay in the Magic City after your cruise returns.

  • Drink up the sizzling nightlife on boisterous Ocean Drive.
  • See the classic architecture in the South Beach Art Deco historic district.
  • Grab a cafecito and a Cubano sandwich on Calle Ocho in Little Havana.
  • Enjoy sightseeing, shopping, beaches, restaurants and bars on a hop-on/hop-off bus.
  • Glide past gators on an airboat ride in the Everglades.

Day 4: Aruba

9:00 AM - 10:00 PM
It’s hard to find a more beautiful vacation destination than the Southern Caribbean, and on our cruises to Aruba, you’re the star of that perfect snapshot. Splash and play your way across this sparkling corner of the Caribbean, or simply relax on a sun-baked beach on one of Carnival’s cruises to Aruba. The locals call it the “happy island,” and they prove it — Aruba cheerily welcomes visitors to picture-perfect strips of beach, swaths of exotic blooms, and some of the Caribbean’s top shopping and nightlife locales. Celebrate the year-round Caribbean spirit, or simply unwind to the island’s bewitching and relaxing tempo. It’s easy to find your own tropical beat when you cruise Aruba-style.
  • Lounge on the white sands of world-class Palm Beach.
  • Hop aboard the famous Kukoo Kunuku bus for a fun-filled island tour, and then relax on Mambo beach.
  • See why visitors can’t wait to get down to snorkeling and scuba.
  • Shop for fine Dutch-made porcelain and imported chocolates in Oranjestad.
 
Colorful buildings alongside the waterfront in Curacao

Day 5: Curaçao

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Cruises to Curacao take you into the exciting pulse of the Southern Caribbean. Curaçao is where Europe meets the West Indies, and it collides here beautifully in a smashing blend of bold colors and cosmopolitan culture. The largest of what was once the Netherlands Antilles, this Caribbean island has it all. Cruise to Curaçao for the beautiful beaches and historic architecture, but don’t miss everything from the splashy sights of marine parks to the distinctive local liqueur — it all awaits on cruises to Curaçao. Above all, what awaits you is the warm, welcoming embrace you’ll start to feel the minute you set sail to Curaçao.
  • Take a trolley tour through the pastel-hued streets of Willemstad.
  • Shop for quality European goods and Dutch treats in the Punda District.
  • Stroll across historic Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge.

Day 7: Grenada

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Cruises to Grenada are ideal for those with a taste for nature and robust flavors. Known as the “Isle of Spice,” Grenada definitely leaves a flavor in your memories after a visit. There’s a reason for this, too… and it’s more than just the island’s role as one of the world’s most important producers of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and allspice. Meshed somewhere in the tropical air, the winding rivers and the fertile soil — a result of the island’s volcanic origins — is a life energy of a distinctly south Caribbean sort. On your Carnival cruise to Grenada, you’ll notice it at the beaches, hear it in the reggae and calypso, and taste it in rich local delicacies… like a dish known as “oildown” (breadfruit and fresh fish). Treat your palate — and all of your senses — to the magic of cruises to Grenada.
  • Discover the historic Fort George combined with a relaxing time at Aquarium Beach Club.
  • See birds, monkeys and more play in the treetops at Grand Etang National Park, situated in a rainforest.
  • Enjoy a day of snorkeling, swimming, sailing, and lobster ‘n’ champagne lunch.
  • Visit the narrow streets — and amazing views — of Carenage. This little harbor offers great shopping, restaurants and bars.
 
 
Sun setting while the gentle waves lap the beach in Barbados

Day 8: Barbados

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Barbados cruises give you the chance to experience tropical life with a refined twist. With pearly pink sand and a jaunty British lilt, Barbados is one of the Caribbean’s most captivating islands. Whether you’re cruising to or from Barbados, discover a hothouse landscape where old sugar plantations and rum distilleries dot the verdant sun-dappled hills. Or, start your travels here and give yourself more time to get immersed in the local culture while you vacation in Barbados. Spy a green monkey in a rainforest ravine, sample savory local rum, or simply follow the trail of bougainvillea blossoms to a glorious beach with Carnival cruises to Barbados.
  • Lounge on luscious pink- and white-sand beaches.
  • Explore the sparkling crystals and underground pools in Harrison’s Cave.
  • Enjoy a tour and a tipple at the Mount Gay Rum Distillery®.
 
 
Beautiful coastline view of Martinique with boats, homes and mountains

Day 9: Martinique

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
You might guess from the name that Martinique has a little French in it. But you might be surprised to learn that this far-flung island is more than just a Francophile — it’s technically part of France. Pretty cool for a southern Caribbean gem, oui? The food consists not only of the French influences, but a hearty helping of the local staples like seafood and tropical fruits and vegetables. The big can’t-miss is a curry called “colombo,” the peak of local cuisine. The island’s actual peak comes in the form of Mont Pelée, standing 4,500 feet above sea level. There’s variety on this island, from forests to savannas to beaches. Speaking of beaches, you’ll find white-sand beaches on Martinique’s south end, with black-sand beaches to the north.
  • Visit the Clement House Plantation — one of the most famous plantation homes in the Caribbean — and see the historic house, gardens, sugar cane and banana fields.
  • Check out Balata Gardens near Fort de France. See over 3,000 varieties of tropical plants from around the world.
  • The adventurous can hike into the primeval splendor of Martinique's tropical rainforest.

Day 10: Antigua

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Discover your own slice of paradise — the white-sand kind — when you sail on cruises to Antigua. Here, legend has it, there’s actually a beach for every day of the year. (Leap years will have to share a little.) When you cruise to Antigua, located right in the heart of the Caribbean, you can’t help but notice relics of the island’s British colonial past — high tea is an afternoon ritual and cricket is the local passion, but this independent nation’s sunny island vibe reigns supreme. Cruises to Antigua are a great way to immerse yourself in all of it — the charming English culture and the irresistible Caribbean sunshine. Best of all? A Carnival cruise to Antigua makes it all a breeze. Got all that, chap?
  • Swim in the clear, warm seas off one of the island’s 365 beaches.
  • Enjoy the opportunity to swim with majestic stingrays at Antigua's famed Stingray Village.
  • Take a tour of historic English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard National Park.
  • Marvel at the Antigua rainforest by taking a canopy tour.
 
Aerial view of St. Maarten coastal town and mountains

Day 11: St. Maarten

7:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Explore two colorful nations on one exotic island on one vacation. Split down the middle centuries ago by two European powers, this 37-mile isle offers cosmopolitan culture, international shopping, and world-class cuisine with a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. Cruise to St. Maarten and you’ll find the island’s natural attributes are equally fine: the rugged coastline shelters silky crescents of sand framed by green undulating hills. Enjoy the laidback vibe of the beach or put on your hiking shoes and explore ruins of historic forts. One thing’s for sure — when you cruise to St. Maarten you’ll come home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

  • Experience the thrill of racing the famous 12-meter race boats.
  • Shop the duty-free stores along the Philipsburg waterfront.
  • Swing to calypso sounds at a barefoot beach bar.
  • Hike through the ruins of French and Dutch forts overlooking the sparkling Caribbean Sea.
