Carnival Cruise Line has opened bookings for an exciting collection of 2027 voyages on the Carnival Firenze, featuring three remarkable South American adventures and 10 Caribbean sailings, departing from Miami.
The cruise line is bringing its beloved "Carnival Fun Italian Style" vessel to America's eastern shores, creating fresh opportunities for travellers to explore culturally vibrant destinations.
President of Carnival Cruise Line, Christine Duffy, said: “Carnival Firenze is a beautiful ship and our plan to bring her east creates a perfect opportunity to offer our guests sailings to culture-rich destinations.
"The South America journeys we’ve opened today truly stand out even among our already impressive lineup of Carnival Journeys cruises that combine our signature fun with spectacular longer itineraries."
The South American adventures kick off with a 15-day Pacific coast journey leaving Long Beach on January 4, 2027, bound for Santiago, Chile.
New Caribbean routes will stop in the Bahamas
| GETTYPassengers will explore four countries with stops in Acapulco, Mexico; Manta, Ecuador; Lima, Peru; and Santiago, while crossing the equator along the way.
A 14-day voyage from Santiago to Buenos Aires starts January 19, 2027, featuring breathtaking passages through the Darwin Channel, Chilean Fjords, and around Cape Horn. The ship will call at Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn in Argentina, plus Montevideo, Uruguay.
The third journey might just steal the show – a 16-day sailing from Buenos Aires to Miami beginning February 2, 2027, timed perfectly to catch Brazilian Carnival's opening day in Rio de Janeiro.
This special voyage also includes an equator crossing, potential views of an annular solar eclipse from the ocean, and visits to Grenada, Martinique and St. Maarten before docking in Miami.
From February through early May 2027, Miami becomes Carnival Firenze's temporary base for diverse Caribbean adventures lasting between four and 13 days.
Quick four-day Bahamas escapes will visit RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Week-long Caribbean cruises feature destinations like Cozumel, Isla Tropical, Belize, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, San Juan and St. Thomas.
Longer Carnival Journeys voyages of 10 to 13 days explore the Southern Caribbean, calling at Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Croix, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua and Martinique.
After wrapping up its Miami stint, Carnival Firenze will head north to New York for summer 2027 operations.
