New Six- and Eight-Day Itineraries on Carnival Panorama Among Sailings Now Open for Sale

Adding more variety in West Coast cruise options, Carnival Cruise Line opens for sale future sailings from Long Beach, CA on Carnival Panorama, Carnival Radiance, and Carnival Firenze. The newly announced offerings include six- and eight-day itineraries on Carnival Panorama from May 2025 through April 2026. These itineraries feature a wider variety of options and destinations from Long Beach including Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz, and Ensenada.

The new sailings can be seen here on Carnival.com.

“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 Fred Stein, Carnival’s vice president of revenue planning and deployment.

The following is a sampling of what each ship will offer beginning in May 2025.

Carnival Firenze

This ship will sail four-day cruises visiting Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. Five-day Mexican Riviera cruises will call in Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.

Carnival Firenze, named after the city of Florence, Italy, will join the fleet sailing from Long Beach in May 2024 as the second ship to showcase Carnival Fun Italian Style experiences. Carnival’s signature fun, friendly crew and many familiar venues complement several new, creative concepts. These include Italian-themed restaurants, bars, entertainment, and unique architectural designs that embody the ship’s namesake. 

Carnival Panorama

Carnival Panorama, which currently operates seven-day sailings, will now alternate between six- and eight-day itineraries departing Saturdays and Sundays.

The six-day sailings to Mexico will feature calls in Ensenada and two days in Cabo San Lucas while the eight-day cruises will sail guests to Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.

Carnival Radiance

Alternating three- and four-night cruises, nearly 50 new getaways to Ensenada are available on Carnival Radiance. The ship’s three-day weekend cruises departing Fridays visit Ensenada. The four-day cruises call in Ensenada and add a stop in Catalina Island.

Cruises to the Mexican Riviera and Baja Mexico offer guests the chance to experience thrilling adventures and relaxing experiences alike. Popular shore excursions include a zipline adventure course that offers thrilling rides above the foothills of the Sierra Madre as well as an ATV ride that winds through the breathtaking Guadalupe Valley.

Additional 2025-2026 itineraries from other Carnival homeports will be announced in the coming weeks.
