Carnival Panorama sets sail on 7-Day Mexico Cruises

Christine Duffy, President of Carnival Cruise Line introduced the newest and largest Carnival Cruise Line ship, Carnival Panorama in Long Beach, CA on Dec. 10, 2019. Now West Coast cruise aficionados can experience the newest "California Dreaming" experience to the Mexican Riviera without flying. Just park a car or Uber to the Carnival Cruise Terminal and walk onboard.

“The Carnival Panorama is the first brand-new Carnival ship to sail from Long Beach at the Carnival Cruise Terminal in 20 years,” said Duffy. ” After her maiden voyage from Long Beach to Ensenada on December 11, 2019, she will sail from Long Beach for seven-nights to the Mexican Riviera every Saturday, stopping at three ports: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.”
