Carnival Cruise Line opened sales for more itineraries from Long Beach, California on Carnival Panorama, Carnival Radiance and Carnival Firenze.

The newly announced offerings include six- and eight-day cruises on Carnival Panorama from May 2025 through April 2026 and feature a wider variety of options and destinations including Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz and Ensenada.

'Long Beach is one of our top homeports, and now with the upcoming addition of Carnival Firenze, joining Carnival Panorama and Carnival Radiance in Long Beach, we’re able to further diversify our offering, welcome more guests aboard and give them more options from the West Coast,' said Carnival's Fred Stein, VP revenue planning and deployment.

Carnival Firenze

Carnival Firenze will offer four-day cruises to Catalina Island and Ensenada, and five-day cruises to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. These are now open for sale between spring and fall 2025.

Carnival Firenze is set to join the fleet sailing from Long Beach in May 2024 as the second ship to showcase 'Carnival Fun Italian Style,' which debuted earlier this year with Carnival Venezia sailing from New York.

Carnival Panorama

Carnival Panorama, which currently operates seven-day sailings, will now alternate between six- and eight-day Mexico itineraries departing Saturdays and Sundays. These cruises begin in spring 2025 and are now open for sale into spring 2026. The six-day option includes Ensenada and two days in Cabo San Lucas while the eight-day cruises will call Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta.

Carnival Radiance

Alternating three- and four-night cruises with nearly 50 new getaways to Ensenada are available on Carnival Radiance from spring to fall 2025. Three-day weekend cruises departing Fridays visit Ensenada while the four-day cruises call at Ensenada and Catalina Island.
