Carnival Cruise Line has announced extended schedules for three ships, with new sailings available through early 2027. The deployment includes Carnival Panorama from Long Beach, California, and Carnival Liberty and Carnival Valor from New Orleans.
"New Orleans and Long Beach are vital to our homeport strategy, and bring great new options to our guests who sail from each port as we continue to broaden our overall cruise schedule for 2026-27," said Fred Stein, vice president of itinerary planning for Carnival Cruise Line.
From Long Beach, Carnival Panorama will sail six- to eight-day Mexican Riviera itineraries featuring Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and La Paz. The ship recently completed a refurbishment that added new retail shops and a non-smoking casino.
From New Orleans, where Carnival recently marked 30 years of year-round service and its seven millionth guest, Carnival Valor will operate four- and five-day Western Caribbean itineraries featuring stops in Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico.
Carnival Liberty will offer week-long Western and Eastern Caribbean cruises from New Orleans, visiting destinations including the line's new Celebration Key (opening 2025), Belize, Mahogany Bay, Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Key West, Nassau and Half Moon Cay. The ship will also operate select six- and eight-day Caribbean sailings, plus a 14-day Carnival Journeys cruise departing November 29, 2026, calling at ports in Mexico, Jamaica, Curacao, Aruba, Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama.
