Cruises from Long Beach: every ship sailing in 2026 and 2027
Carnival sails from Long Beach all year with two or three ships. Carnival Panorama alternates 8-night Saturday and 6-night Sunday cruises to the Mexican Riviera. Carnival Radiance sails 4- and 5-night trips to Ensenada, Catalina Island and Cabo, plus Hawaii, until April 2027, then 3- and 4-night trips to Ensenada and Catalina Island.
Only one ship can berth at a time, so there's never more than one departure a day. The dates here come from Carnival's booking system and its deployment announcements.
