About Carnival Panorama
Carnival Panorama, completed in 2019, was the first new Carnival ship based on the West Coast in two decades, and it has sailed from Long Beach on Mexican Riviera itineraries. It is a Vista-class ship with a twist: its biggest addition is Sky Zone, the first trampoline park at sea. The décor leans into a laid-back California feel. You still get SkyRide, Havana staterooms, Family Harbor and the WaterWorks slides. With seven-night trips to ports like Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas, it suits Southern California families who want a full week rather than a quick weekend.
Best for: West Coast families who want a full week to the Mexican Riviera on a modern Carnival ship.
