Carnival Cruise Line has officially opened reservations for Carnival Firenze’s 2027 sailing schedule, introducing an enticing slate of routes across South America and the Caribbean. The repositioning of this Italian-themed vessel reflects Carnival’s growing ambition to offer dynamic, long-duration voyages while bringing its signature blend of fun and flair to new shores.
Spectacular South America Voyages
At the start of 2027, Carnival Firenze will embark on three extended South American journeys under the Carnival Journeys banner – deeper, immersive expeditions designed for travelers seeking scenic richness and cultural discovery.
The first of these voyages is a 15-day sailing that departs from Long Beach, California on January 4, 2027. It follows a Pacific coastal route north to south, including stops in Acapulco, Mexico; Manta, Ecuador; Callao near Lima, Peru; and concluding in San Antonio – officially linked to Santiago, Chile. A standout highlight of this voyage is an Equator crossing, adding a unique maritime milestone to the itinerary.
The second journey launches on January 19, 2027, departing from Santiago and heading to Buenos Aires over 14 immersive days. Travelers will sail through the dramatic Darwin Channel, glide along the Chilean Fjords, and round Cape Horn before visiting Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn in Argentina, then Montevideo in Uruguay, ending in the vibrant port of Buenos Aires.
The final of the South America offerings begins on February 2, 2027, from Buenos Aires to Miami over 16 days. This special voyage includes a stop in Rio de Janeiro during the first day of Brazil’s iconic Carnival, a memorable Equator crossing, a rare solar eclipse at sea opportunity, and Caribbean stops in Grenada, Martinique, and St. Maarten. The journey promises a powerful blend of natural wonders, cultural festivity, and cruise adventure.
Diverse Caribbean Itineraries and Future Repositioning
After completing those South America voyages, Carnival Firenze will reposition to Miami for winter 2027, offering a wide array of Caribbean itineraries ranging from 4 to 13 days. Short four-day getaways will visit RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay, and Celebration Key, Carnival’s exclusive destinations in The Bahamas. Mid-length cruises of 6 to 7 days will bring guests to a mix of tropical favorites such as Cozumel, Isla Tropical, Belize, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, San Juan, and St. Thomas. For travelers seeking an extended experience, Carnival Journeys cruises featuring Southern Caribbean destinations—like Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Croix, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua, and Martinique – will also be available.
Following her Miami deployment, Carnival Firenze will head to New York for a summer 2027 schedule, offering additional routes that have yet to be revealed. This marks the first season the ship will be homeported on the U.S. East Coast, signaling a shift designed to tap into new markets while giving regulars a fresh cruising experience.
Built with unique Italian-inspired design and amenities, Carnival Firenze already stands out among the fleet with features crafted to deliver flair, comfort, and style. The expansion of her deployment showcases Carnival’s strategy of offering cruise options that blend destination depth with onboard culture and entertainment.
With bookings now open, Carnival Firenze’s 2027 schedule offers a rich blend of long-haul adventures and classic Caribbean getaways – ideal for travelers looking for unforgettable, immersive cruising experiences. Whether exploring remote fjords or enjoying beaches in the Bahamas, these voyages promise to set a high bar for Carnival’s upcoming cruising season.
