The Carnival Venezia will feature all-new retail offerings, including Carnival’s first luxury boutiques, when it begins cruising from New York City on June 15, 2023.
The ship, a former Costa-branded ship, will be the first of the line’s new “Carnival Fun Italian Style” concept, featuring Italian specialty restaurants, a distinct design with an Italian flair and now, exclusive offerings in its boutiques.
The shops will feature luxury brands like Bvlgari, Cartier, TAG HEUER, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Fendi and more. To enhance its Italian concept, the shops will also offer prints designed by ICaftani and Murano glass-inspired jewelry, designed by Lionve.
The dedicated Leather Shop will feature Emporio Armani handbags, Marc Jacobs accessories and other luxury leather goods. Other stores include Front Street Watches and What Goes Around Comes Around, which is a pre-used designer handbag and accessory store.
But the true mark of the ship will be its three exclusive “Fun Italian Style” collections, available for purchase only onboard the Carnival Venezia.
Venezia Masquerade Accessories will offer fans, hats, t-shirts, home decor and yes, Carnival masks, all reminiscent of Venice’s unique tradition. The store goes hand-in-hand with the ship’s programming activities.
The Carnival Venezia Racing Stripes Collection is inspired by Italy’s passion for scooters. Guests can shop luggage tags, drinkware, hats and apparel featuring the iconic motorbike.
Also available for the Venezia is the ship’s Inaugural Collection, which uses the colors of the Italian flag to offer unique windbreakers, t-shirts, drinkware and other apparel and accessories.
