Carnival Cruise Line has announced the addition of U.S. West Coast sailings for the 2027/2028 season on Carnival Radiance from Long Beach.

The new three-day sailings will call on Ensenada, Mexico, while four-day cruises feature visits to both Ensenada and Catalina Island.

The Radiance will also offer a four-day sailing with back-to-back visits to Ensenada on January 8, 2028, along with a five-day Christmas cruise on December 23, 2027, with port visits to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.

“We value our long-standing partnerships in Catalina Island and Ensenada, and appreciate the continued collaboration with these communities,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to bring our guests to these treasured ports of call.”

Carnival Cruise Line finalized a 15-year agreement with the city of Avalon on Catalina Island reflecting its commitment to sustainable tourism and continued collaboration with the island community.

In addition, Carnival Corporation recently announced a new shoreside destination, Ensenada Bay Village, inspired by the culture and natural beauty of Baja California currently under development in Ensenada with a projected opening in 2028.

With an investment of more than $26 million, the destination aims to enhance the port experience with a mix of adventure, cultural and relaxation offerings and will welcome guests from multiple cruise lines, reinforcing a shared commitment to inclusive tourism and regional growth.
