Carnival Cruise Line recently announced its latest ship – Carnival Panorama – will be home ported in Long Beach, Southern California, from December 2019. This will be the first brand-new ship deployed on the West Coast of the USA in 20 years.

The 3,960-passenger Carnival Panorama, the third Vista-class ship in the fleet, will offer seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach at the end of 2019. This is the perfect destination for Carnival’s free-spirited, fun-loving guests looking to cruise internationally. Reservations are expected to open late March 2018.

As its name implies, Carnival Panorama will include onboard venues offering both indoor and al fresco dining experiences, including the:

    • Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse

Along with open-air attractions like the groundbreaking bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction SkyRide, a massive WaterWorks aqua park, and the SportSquare recreation area.

Jennifer Vandekreeke, Carnival Cruise Line Vice-President, Australia said

“This is fantastic news for cruise lovers every where, who now have even more options to cruise from Long Beach – via just one direct flight to Los Angeles – to some incredible destinations around the Mexican Riviera.”
