About Carnival Panorama

Carnival Panorama is the third Vista Class ship and the first new Carnival ship based on the West Coast in 20 years when she arrived in Long Beach in December 2019. At 133,500 gross tons and 1,055 feet she carries 4,008 guests at double occupancy across 14 guest decks with a crew of 1,450. She is the only Carnival ship with a Sky Zone trampoline park, which Carnival describes as the first at sea, alongside the SkyRide aerial bike course and a ropes course.

A 24-day dry dock in Singapore in fall 2024 made her the last Carnival ship to receive the red, white and blue livery and added a non-smoking casino on deck 4, an Effy boutique, a Dreams Studio and a new mini golf area on deck 12. Dining includes Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse, Bonsai Teppanyaki, Bonsai Sushi, JiJi Asian Kitchen, Cucina del Capitano, Seafood Shack and Fahrenheit 555, with the Havana Bar & Pool and the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge for evenings.

Six-day cruises pair an extended stay in Cabo San Lucas with a call at Ensenada, and 8-day cruises cover the full Mexican Riviera with Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta.
