About Costa Venezia
Costa Venezia was a 135,225-ton Vista-class ship, the first of two built by Fincantieri for Costa's Chinese market and, when delivered in February 2019, the largest ship built for Costa up to then. Its atrium, theater and restaurants were modeled on Venetian landmarks. After a 53-day first voyage from Trieste to Tokyo, it sailed year-round from Shanghai for Chinese guests until the pandemic, then returned in May 2022 for a Mediterranean season from Istanbul. It ended Costa service on 1 December 2022 and was handed to Carnival Cruise Line in March 2023, where it sails as Carnival Venezia.
