From San Diego, Carnival Miracle will operate a variety of cruises, to Baja, the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii and the Panama Canal
Carnival Cruise Line plans to return to the Port of San Diego for the first time in seven years when Carnival Miracle arrives in late 2019.

Mexican Riviera, Baja, Hawaii

The ship will operate a winter schedule of three- to 15-day voyages from December 2019 to February 2020. The schedule kicks off with a seven-day cruise to the Mexican Riviera departing Dec. 1, 2019, and also includes two longer 'Carnival Journeys' voyages. These 14- and 15-day Hawaii adventures sail Dec. 8, 2019, and Jan. 17, 2020.

Carnival Miracle’s San Diego-based program also includes a pair of five-day cruises that spend two days in Cabo San Lucas, departing Dec. 22, 2019, and Jan. 12, 2020, along with two three-day getaways visiting Ensenada on Dec. 27, 2019, and Jan. 3, 2020.

There’s also a special four-day New Year’s Baja Mexico cruise departing Dec. 30, 2019, as well as a six-day cruise that includes two days in Cabo San Lucas and a day-long visit to Ensenada departing Jan. 6, 2020.

Panama Canal cruise

The schedule concludes with a 13-day Panama Canal 'Carnival Journeys' cruise that leaves San Diego Feb. 1 and arrives in Miami Feb. 14, 2020.

Carnival Cruise Line is the leader in West Coast cruising with three year-round ships carrying more than 500,000 passengers annually from the newly renovated Long Beach Cruise Terminal. Carnival will further strengthen its commitment to Southern California when the new Carnival Panorama launches year-round seven-day cruises from Long Beach in December 2019.
