Carnival Launches Exciting New West Coast Sailings for the 2028-29 Season!

Carnival Cruise Line has launched its 2028-29 cruising season with expanded offerings from Long Beach, aimed at enhancing travel options to Mexico from the West Coast. As the leading cruise line in Long Beach, Carnival will feature three- to eight-day journeys aboard the Carnival Radiance and Carnival Panorama, catering to diverse vacation preferences.

The Carnival Radiance will continue its tradition of short getaways to Baja Mexico, with three-day cruises visiting Ensenada and four-day itineraries that also include Catalina Island. Notably, during the holiday season, a special five-day voyage set to depart on December 21, 2028, will explore Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas, and Ensenada.

For those seeking a more extended experience, Carnival Panorama will operate a series of six- and eight-day cruises to the Mexican Riviera. The six-day options will include two-days in Cabo San Lucas, alongside a stop in Ensenada, while the eight-day sailings will cover a broader spectrum of destinations, including Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta.

These new itineraries will run from May 2028 through April 2029, offering cruisers a variety of ways to experience Mexico from Carnival’s main West Coast hub in Long Beach. More information about the sailings can be found on the company’s website.
