Carnival Make Own History With A Multi-Million Dollar Project You Need To Know About

Carnival Make Own History With A Multi-Million Dollar Project You Need To Know About
Carnival has just announced the deployment of Carnival Panorama to Long Beach in 2019– the first new Carnival ship based in Southern California in 20 years.

The grand re-opening of its 146,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Long Beach Cruise Terminal and a multi-million-dollar port development project in Ensenada, Mexico, will provide guests with one-of-a-kind experiences ashore.

“This is a momentous occasion for both Carnival and the City of Long Beach”, said Carnival President Christine Duffy.

“These initiatives further demonstrate the confidence in our future success in Long Beach. We are very much looking forward to having Carnival Panorama homeported here beginning next year.”

“The expansion of the terminal and arrival of this exciting new ship is great news for the city of Long Beach, underscoring Carnival’s longstanding commitment to our community while adding additional opportunities for growing our economy and promoting all that our wonderful city has to offer,” said Robert Garcia, mayor of Long Beach.

“Carnival has been an excellent partner for 15 years and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.” 

In 2019, Carnival will make history when it deploys its third Vista-class ship, the 3,960-passenger Carnival Panorama, on seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach.

The ship’s incredible features include the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Library Bar and Bonsai Sushi, along with open-air attractions such as the ground-breaking bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction SkyRide, a massive WaterWorks aqua park and the SportSquare recreation area.

There will also be a vibrant Havana section with tropics-inspired staterooms and its own Cuban-themed bar and pool, Family Harbor featuring extra-roomy accommodations, the Family Harbor Lounge, and Ocean Plaza, a spacious dining and entertainment venue with indoor and outdoor seating. Other innovations unique to Carnival Panorama will be announced in the near future.

The terminal’s striking design features California’s recognisable landmarks, bringing indoors the state’s iconic natural elements, including a backdrop of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range.

The world’s largest, free-span geodesic dome is another feature of the terminal that also includes the cruise industry’s first 1980s-style arcade which is available for families to enjoy too.

“This project is many years in the making and Carnival’s Long Beach Cruise Terminal is one of the most visually striking and efficient facilities of its kind, providing a seamless embarkation for our guests while making a tremendous economic impact on the Southern California region,” said Carlos Torres de Navarra, Carnival’s vice president, strategic and commercial port development.

The grand re-opening of the terminal coincides with the arrival of Carnival Splendor to Long Beach, which operates seven-day cruises to Mexico and longer-length voyages to Alaska and Hawaii.

Carnival Splendor joins Carnival Imagination and Carnival Inspiration which sail three- and four-day cruises to Ensenada and Catalina Island.

Carnival officials also announced a major port development project in Ensenada, Mexico, currently featured on the line’s three- and four-day cruises from Long Beach.

The project will provide guests visiting the destination with an unparalleled, one-of-a-kind dining and retail experiences ashore, along with unique attractions for guests of all ages to enjoy. More details will be announced at a later date.

“This project will provide our guests with a truly unique shoreside experience while making our short cruises from Long Beach even more attractive to consumers,” said Torres de Navarra.

“This port development project will make Ensenada one of the West Coast’s premier destinations.”
