The ex-Costa ship will begin sailing year-round from Long Beach, California starting in May 2024 through April 2025.

Carnival Firenze is one of three former Costa ships to join the Carnival fleet and be rebranded as a Carnival ship with an Italian-style experience.

The other two are Carnival Venezia, which will sail year-round from New York this spring; and Carnival Luminosa, currently sailing in Australia.
