Carnival Radiance re-entered service in late September at the Port of Long Beach, California, following a two-week dry dock, during which the ship received multiple enhancements to both public areas and technical systems.

The 2000-built vessel, formerly Carnival Victory, has been refreshed to enhance the guest experience while offering its signature ‘Fun Ship’ staples like Shaq’s Big Chicken, Guy’s Burger Joint, and the BlueIguana Cantina.

Year-Round Sailings from Long Beach

These voyages include visits to the Baja California Peninsula and the Mexican Riviera. In 2025, the ship will also host six Carnival Journeys sailings to Hawaii for those seeking longer voyages.
These 14-day sailings will take guests to iconic Hawaiian destinations such as Maui, Honolulu, Kauai, and Hilo.
