Carnival Cruise Line is cancelling 11 cruises onboard the Carnival Firenze that were set to take place between October 12 and November 16, 2026.

According to a statement shared with booked guests, the cancellations are related to a redeployment effort.

“We have made some changes to the itinerary plans for the Carnival Firenze and, unfortunately, your cruise has been cancelled,” Carnival stated.

The company added that two options are available for guests who were affected by the cancellations, including rebooking another sailing.

Carnival said that its team is ready to discuss options and that passengers will take advantage of a protected cruise rate on comparable sailings in similar accommodations.

For these guests, the company is also offering a $50 onboard credit per person, up to a maximum of $100 per stateroom.

Passengers who do not wish to reschedule will receive a full refund of their cruise fare and any pre-purchased items to their original form of payment.

The company said that no action is required in this case, noting that refunds will be issued after March 25, 2026, and can take up to three weeks to be processed by banks.

“We sincerely apologize for this change and thank you for understanding,” Carnival added.

Sailing from Long Beach, the Carnival Firenze was scheduled to offer a series of three- and four-night cruises to Mexico and California during the cancellation timeframe.

The short cruises were highlighted by visits to Ensenada and Catalina Island, as well as sea days in the Pacific Ocean.

Part of the company’s Carnival Fun Italian Style concept, the Firenze was originally built for Costa Cruises before being transferred to Carnival in early 2024.

After three years sailing from California, the ship is scheduled to reposition to the East Coast in early 2027 for cruises out of Miami and New York City.
