The Carnival Firenze will offer a third casino during selected sailings later this year, according to an update shared by the Carnival Players Club.

An additional non-smoking casino will be added to the ship for its SEA cruises, which sail between October and November 2026.

Carnival said that the third gambling venue will create even more opportunities for guests to enjoy their favorite games at sea.

The new venue will include additional slot machines and table games, the company added, giving passengers more ways to play during the adults-only sailings.

Members of the Carnival Players Club who reach the Elite tier will enjoy preferred access to the new gaming experience.

Originally built for Costa Cruises, the Vista-class ship currently offers two gambling areas, including a smokers-friendly main casino and a smaller, smoke-free casino.

As previously reported by Cruise Industry News, Carnival cancelled a series of sailings onboard the Carnival Firenze earlier this year to make room for the new SEA cruises.

The adults-only sailings will take place between October and November 2026, sailing to the West Coast and the Mexican Riviera.

Sailing from Long Beach, the seven- to 12-night itineraries will visit a wide range of destinations, including Manzanillo, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.

As part of the company’s casino program, the sailings will cater to gamblers, with a series of gaming-focused activities and initiatives.

Following its SEA schedule, the Carnival Firenze is scheduled to offer additional sailings from California before repositioning to the East Coast in early 2027.

As part of the Carnival Fun Italian Style product, the 4,232-passenger ship offers Italian-themed spaces and venues.

Highlights include the Amari Italian-Style Bar, which serves traditional herbal liquors and bitters, in addition to favorites from the company’s signature Alchemy Bar.
