Carnival Cruise Line has opened reservations for a lineup of new 2027 cruises onboard Carnival Firenze, including three distinct Carnival Journeys across South America.
The three Carnival Journeys begin at the start of 2027 with a 15-day sailing from Long Beach, Calif. to San Antonia (Santiago), Chile that crosses the equator and stops at Acapulco, Mexico; Manta, Ecuador; Callao (Lima), Peru; and San Antonio.
This will be followed by a 14-day sailing from Santiago to Buenos Aires, departing Jan. 19, 2027, featuring scenic cruising through the Darwin Channel along the Chilean Fjords, and around Cape Horn, as well as stops at Ushuaia and Puerto Madryn, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay, and ending in Buenos Aires.
The last of the three Journeys will sail from Buenos Aires to Miami, departing Feb. 2, 2027 with special stops in Brazil during the first day of Brazilian Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, as well as the Brazilian port of Maceio. The sailing also features a crossing of the equator, a chance at viewing the solar eclipse at sea, and visits to Grenada, Martinique, and St. Maarten.
The lineup of new sailings also includes 10 new Caribbean cruise options from Miami from February to May 8, 2027. All the new voyages coincide with Carnival’s plans to reposition Carnival Firenze to the east coast for the summer of 2027.
“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. 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,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
