The cruise line is also adding to its Carnival Journeys program of longer sailings with new Hawaii cruises. To see all sailings currently available from Long Beach, click here.
Cruises to Mexico
The new sailings now available from Long Beach add more options for guests sailing from the West Coast, where Carnival currently offers itineraries ranging from short weekend getaways to 15-day cruises. The new itineraries feature popular destinations such as Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Catalina Island, Calif.
New sailings added to Carnival Firenze’s deployment schedule include a range of four-, five- and six-day sailings, with the six-day itineraries calling in Cabo San Lucas for two days. Carnival Radiance’s newly opened itineraries offer several three-, four- and five-day options. When visiting consider the available cabo fishing charters for a bucket-list experience.
In addition to new options now open for sale from the fall of 2025 and into the spring of 2026, Carnival has also opened an additional sailing for Carnival Firenze next spring, moving up the ship’s inaugural sailing to April 25, 2024. The ship’s first sailing from Long Beach will be a seven-day cruise visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas.
The 4,126-guest Carnival Firenze will bring Carnival Fun Italian Style experiences to Long Beach when it launches next year. Architecturally styled after its namesake, the city of Florence, Italy, the ship’s Italian design will complement dining and bar venues, such as the new specialty restaurant Il Viaggio, as well as unique entertainment programming, including an Italian-themed deck party on Lido, that have proven popular on sister ship Carnival Venezia. More details about Carnival Firenze will be announced ahead of its debut next spring.
Carnival Journeys Cruises to Hawaii
Six new Carnival Journeys sailings from Long Beach to Hawaii are now open on Carnival Radiance. The 14-day sailings will offer guests truly memorable cruise vacations visiting stunning destinations across the Hawaiian Islands, including Maui, Honolulu, Kauai and Hilo, along with a stop in Ensenada. In 2025, Carnival Radiance will cruise to Hawaii on Oct. 18 and Nov. 29. The 2026 departures are set for Jan. 10, Feb. 7, March 7 and April 4.
