Costa Venezia is no longer part of the Costa Cruises fleet. In 2023, the ship was transferred to Carnival Cruise Line and renamed Carnival Venezia.

Costa Venezia was commissioned in 2019 and was initially designed primarily for the Chinese cruise market. The ship’s interiors were inspired by the architecture and atmosphere of Venice.

In 2023, the liner transferred to Carnival Cruise Line. After modernization, it became Carnival Venezia and began operating under the Carnival Fun Italian Style concept.

The ship continues active operation with Carnival Cruise Line.
