History
AI-generated

Originally designed as the first Costa Cruises vessel built specifically for the Chinese market, Carnival Venezia debuted as Costa Venezia and became the largest ship in the Costa fleet upon her delivery. Following the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the cruise industry, she was transferred to Carnival Cruise Line in 2023 as part of a corporate fleet reshuffling and renamed to serve as the lead vessel for a new Venice-class sub-fleet operating under the "Costa as Carnival" concept.
