Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its schedule from Long Beach for the 2028-29 season, adding more sailings to Mexico aboard Carnival Radiance and Carnival Panorama.
The new itineraries, which run from May 2028 through April 2029, range from three to eight days and include destinations in Baja Mexico and the Mexican Riviera.
Carnival Radiance will offer three-day cruises to Ensenada, Mexico, along with four-day itineraries that add Catalina Island. A five-day holiday sailing departing December 21, 2028, will visit Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.
Carnival Panorama will operate six- and eight-day Mexican Riviera cruises. Six-day sailings will visit Cabo San Lucas, with two days in port, and Ensenada.
Eight-day itineraries will call at Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta.
Carnival says it carries more guests from Long Beach than any other cruise line. The expanded schedule will provide year-round options for travelers departing from the Southern California port, from short Baja cruises to longer Mexican Riviera itineraries.
