Itinerary
- Depart UK for New York, overnight at hotel
- Explore this buzzing city in a continual sweep starting in Central Park and working south towards Wall Street and Battery Park where boat trips depart for The Statue of Liberty and the fascinating Immigration Museum on Ellis Island. Definitely take advantage of the shopping on 5th Avenue. Stop off for a coffee in the golden atrium of the Trump Tower and stroll through the Rockerfelller centre on your way to marvel at the bright lights of Times Square. Soak up the panoramic views from the viewing platform at the top of the Empire State Building as the sun sets over the horizon and the lights twinkle on.
- Embark ship
- Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
- A scattered group of islands off the coast of Florida make up the Bahamas and these really mark the gateway to the Caribbean. Cruise ships dock in Nassau (the capital) where you will find the usual selection of shops and also the magnificent Atlantis Hotel with its water park, marine habitat and Dolphin Cay.
- After you see the pristine beaches and breathtaking turquoise waters, it's no surprise to learn that Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island. But it held the title for more than 20 years- and you don't earn that type of respect without having great ways for visitors to really make the most of paradise.So grab a Carnival cruise to this exclusive destination, and from your first toe in the sand you-ll understand why it-s anything but typical. All the excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pauses for a bit, opening up your vacation to a private island experience. Cozy up and lounge with your someone-special in a clam-shell, a shady hideaway for two. If you-re looking for more private stretch-out space there are cabanas and villas to rent. And who can resist the siren-s call of an expert massage by the beach-
- About a quarter mile from the western beaches at Grand Turk, the sea floor drops 7,000 feet right down into dark blue. Just at the edge of the drop-off, there's a reef pocked with arches, turrets, and tunnels called the Grand Turk Wall. The reef is a haven for fish, and with its clear water, for divers, too. Grand Turk is also fringed with amazing white sandy beaches making it a beach-lovers paradise.
- Relax and make the most of the myriad of facilities available on board the ship, from fantastic entertainment to delicious and diverse dining options.
- Disembark ship for overnight flight to UK
- Arrive back into the UK

Ship Information
Cruise Overview
Carnival Cruise Line has announced details on its second highly anticipated Costa by Carnival ship, Carnival Venezia, joining the Carnival fleet in mid-2023. From Italian favorites to popular Fun Ship features, the reimagined ship will bring the best of the 'Carnival Fun Italian Style' experience to guests. From unique spaces and Italian architecture to classic Carnival fun, the pair showed off just how amazing the new ship will be, and highlighted how refurbishments will best serve guests for a phenomenal experience.Cabin Details
One of the most distinctive features of Carnival Venezia will be a completely new class of stateroom not found on any other Carnival cruise ship. The Terrazza staterooms are similar to the Havana staterooms found on select vessels, and come in a range of categories from interior to balcony staterooms. Of special interest are the Terrazza Cabanas, which feature private patios complete with plush loungers, a hammock, and direct lanai access to Terrazza Carnevale, an outdoor terraced deck featuring two whirlpools, a bar, and tranquil lounging space with breathtaking views. Terrazza Carnevale is for the exclusive use of guests staying in the ship's 77 Terrazza staterooms, which also come with other perks such as branded robes and towels, special brunch events, and an exclusive sail-away party with live music.Carnival Brand EnhancementsDining Details
Carnival Venezia include gelato at the Java Blue Cafe, new Italian twists at Guy's Burger Joint, such as a pepperoni pizza burger, Italian street food at La Strada Grill, craft cocktails with Italian liqueurs at the Amari bar, and authentic Italian coffees and biscotti at Frizzante. Carnival Venezia will also feature a brand new Italian specialty restaurant, though further details on its inspiration and menu offerings have not yet been revealed. Much of the ship's décor will also retain its Italian and Mediterranean flair of colors, artwork, and flowing spaces that invite guests to relax and enjoy 'Carnival Fun Italian Style.'Activities Details
Among the Italian enhancements and unique features, guests will see are the stunning architecture, modeled after Venice's main public square, Piazza San Marco. Furthermore, the ship's main theater, Teatro Rosso, has stylish tufted red velvet seats and the luxe feel of a European theater. Carnival Venezia's outdoor spaces also feature Italian touches and some first-in-fleet features, with a Lido deck modeled after the Italian Riviera that boasts a retractable roof for comfortable use in colder months. The beloved gondola, a highlight of the ship's aft dining room that is 'floating' on a glass canal under a cloud-studded sky, will also be remaining, and is a very popular photo spot.Other Information
