YouTube Video Description

On May 29, 2023, Carnival Cruise Line launched Carnival Venezia in Barcelona. We were there for the inaugural sailing of this beautiful new cruise ship and were also there for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the ship's dedication. This video starts with a quick tour of the terminal and updates on inaugural sailing morning. In addition to the ribbon cutting, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the exchanging of plaques ceremony. When a ship makes a call for the first time to a port, there is a small gift exchange that is typically performed behind closed doors. We capture it all for you in this video! The video features speeches and ship dedications from: Christine Duffy, President, Carnival Cruise Lines John Heald, Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador Captain Claudio, Captain of the Carnival Venezia This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I've truly caught the inaugural sailing bug now and am excited for Carnival Jubilee later in 2023 and the Carnival Firenze (sister to the Carnival Venezia) in May of 2024. We'll be bringing you lots of content from those inaugural sailings as well! I can now officially say that inaugural sailing is crossed off the bucket list! Thank you to everyone on board Carnival Venezia for making it truly the most memorable cruise yet.
