Carnival Cruise Line has opened reservations for new 2027 cruises onboard Carnival Firenze, featuring three South America Carnival Journeys voyages and 10 Caribbean cruise options from Miami. The new sailings are part of Carnival's plan to reposition the ship to the U.S. east coast.
"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," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "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."
Carnival Firenze will operate three South America sailings at the start of 2027, each featuring ports that are rare stops for Carnival ships.
The first voyage is a 15-day cruise departing January 4, 2027, from Long Beach to San Antonio (Santiago), Chile. The Pacific coast itinerary visits four countries with calls to Acapulco, Mexico; Manta, Ecuador; Callao (Lima), Peru and San Antonio (Santiago), Chile, plus an equator crossing.
A 14-day sailing from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina departs January 19, 2027. This journey includes scenic cruising through the Darwin Channel, Chilean Fjords and Cape Horn, with port calls in Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay and ending in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The final South America voyage is a 16-day cruise from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Miami departing February 2, 2027. The itinerary features stops in Brazil during the first day of Brazilian Carnival, with visits to Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian port Maceio. The sailing includes an equator crossing, potential viewing of an annular solar eclipse at sea and visits to Caribbean islands Grenada, Martinique and St. Maarten before arriving in Miami.
From February 2027 through May 8, 2027, Carnival Firenze will homeport temporarily in Miami, offering itineraries ranging from four to 13 days that explore The Bahamas, Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean regions.
The Caribbean program includes a four-day Bahamas cruise visiting RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Six- and seven-day Caribbean cruises will feature Cozumel, Isla Tropical, Belize, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, San Juan and St. Thomas. Extended Carnival Journeys cruises of 10 to 13 days will visit Southern Caribbean ports including Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Croix, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua and Martinique.
Following the Miami deployment, Carnival plans to reposition Carnival Firenze to New York for summer 2027.
