Over four thousand passengers sailed into the port aboard the vessel along with 1,401 crew members. St. John\u2019s is the first port of call on the current 12-day roundtrip Southern Caribbean itinerary for this ship.<\/span><\/p>

Officer In Charge at Antigua Cruise Port, Cynthia Jacobs Browne, accepted a gift from Captain Massimo Pennisi during a traditional plaque exchange ceremony. \u201cWe are delighted to have Carnival Venezia alongside today. <\/span><\/p>\n

This visit is one of several that we anticipate from Carnival Cruise Line vessels this year, which reflects the growing demand for our destination and for cruise vacations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
