MIAMI, March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise
Line today began accepting reservations for the 133,500-ton
Carnival Panorama, which kicks off its year-round seven-day Mexican
Riviera schedule from Long Beach,
Calif., Dec. 14, 2019,
becoming the first new Carnival ship homeported on the West Coast
in 20 years.
Prior to the launch of seven-day service, Carnival Panorama will
offer a special one-time three-day cruise to Ensenada from
Long Beach Dec. 11-14, 2019.
Carnival Panorama will offer a three-port, seven-day itinerary
from Long Beach, departing every
Saturday to stunning destinations along the Mexican Riviera,
including Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán
and Puerto Vallarta. During these cruises, guests can relax
on world-class beaches, visit centuries-old historical sites, and
enjoy unforgettable dining and shopping opportunities and exciting
experiences ashore.
"Carnival Panorama promises to be a spectacular addition to our
fleet and we're delighted to provide our guests with an opportunity
to be among the first to sail on our first new ship on the West
Coast in two decades," said Christine
Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Voyages will depart from the newly refurbished Long Beach Cruise
Terminal, housed in a massive 146,000-square-foot geodesic dome
that once housed Howard Hughes'
Spruce Goose airplane. The expanded facility offers a
streamlined embarkation and debarkation process along with stunning
design elements that pay homage to the Golden State, including a
mural of the Sierra Nevada mountains and replicas of the Spruce
Goose.
Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in
Marghera, Italy, Carnival Panorama
will offer groundbreaking attractions like a bike-ride-in-the-sky
attraction called SkyRide, a massive WaterWorks aqua park, and the
SportSquare open-air recreation area, along with a vibrant
Havana section with
tropics-inspired staterooms and its own Cuban-themed bar and pool,
Family Harbor featuring extra-roomy accommodations and the
luxurious Cloud 9 Spa. Like its name implies, Carnival
Panorama will also offer both indoor and al fresco food and
beverage concepts, including the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Library
Bar, and Bonsai Sushi.
Additional innovations unique to this vessel will be announced
at a later date.
