Carnival Cruise Line is adding new sailings for the 2026/27 season, including more options from homeports in California and New York.
From Long Beach, California, Carnival is expanding itineraries on Carnival Firenze and Carnival Radiance. Firenze will operate three-day weekend cruises to Ensenada, Mexico, departing on Fridays, as well as four-day cruises visiting Catalina Island and Ensenada and departing on Mondays.
Radiance's 2026/27 program from Long Beach includes a variety of voyages in the Mexican Riviera, including three- and four-day Baja Mexico sailings to Ensenada and Catalina Island, five- and six-day cruises visiting Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, and an eight-day voyage exploring Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and La Paz. Radiance will also offer seven 14-day Carnival Journeys cruises to Hawaii, during which passengers will visit Maui, Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island.
Carnival Panorama will also continue sailing year-round from Long Beach, offering cruises to destinations such as Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and La Paz.
On the east coast, Carnival Venezia will sail a variety of four- to eight-day voyages from New York City's Manhattan Cruise Terminal during the 2026 season. Destinations will include Bermuda (with one-, two- and three-day port calls), as well as Canada, with a five-day cruise to Saint John and Halifax. Venezia will also offer Caribbean sailings featuring ports such as Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk. Some voyages will visit Carnival's upcoming Celebration Key.
"Our two Carnival Fun Italian Style ships offer great options from the east and west coasts, conveniently connecting New York and Long Beach to popular destinations, while delivering unique experiences on board," said Fred Stein, vice president of itinerary planning for Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival sails more passengers than any other cruise line from California, with three ships operating year-round from the Long Beach Cruise Terminal, plus seasonal sailings from San Francisco.
