Carnival Cruise Line announced 2026 to 2027 itineraries from New York and California. Carnival Venezia homeports from New York, offering seasonal voyages, while Carnival Radiance and Carnival Firenze, the cruise line’s fun Italian-style ships, boast year-round departures from Long Beach.
Fred Stein, Carnival’s Vice President of Itnerary Planning, pointed out how the line-up expands passengers’ selections. “Our two Carnival Fun Italian Style ships offer great options from the east and west coasts, conveniently connecting New York and Long Beach to popular destinations, while delivering unique experiences on board,” he began.
“Additionally, Carnival Radiance’s itineraries for 2026/27 offer something for every type of traveler–from quick weekend escapes to two-week adventures exploring Hawaii.”
Carnival Venezia’s New York Sailings
The 2014-built ship will embark on four—to eight-day cruises from New York’s Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Its seasonal 2026 deployment will feature sailings to Bermuda, Canada, and the Caribbean.
Caribbean itineraries allow guests to choose from popular destinations like Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau.
An 11-day Carnival Journeys repositioning voyage from Port Canaveral on March 11 will visit St. Thomas, Curacao, Aruba, and Celebration Key, the cruise line’s newest private resort in The Bahamas. A handful of Caribbean sailings will also call on the 65-acre destination.
Located on Grand Bahama Island, Celebration Key will open in July 2025. Its highly anticipated amenities include the region’s largest freshwater lagoon, an adults-only beach club, new neighborhoods or portals, and a waterpark.
Carnival Radiance and Carnival Firenze’s Long Beach Sailings
If you decide to sail from Long Beach, the Mexican Riviera offers a variety of equally attractive destinations.
Carnival Firenze has three-day itineraries from Fridays to Sundays and four-day routes from Mondays to Thursdays. Weekend cruises stop in Ensenada, Mexico, while slightly longer weekday travels visit Ensenada and Catalina.
Carnival Radiance offers three- to six-day getaways to Catalina Island, Ensenada, and Cabo San Lucas. Meanwhile, an eight-day sailing will transport guests to La Paz, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas. Guests can also visit these top destinations through Carnival Panorama’s year-round voyages from Long Beach.
Additionally, cruisers can opt for longer 14-day Carnival Journeys to Hawaii and experience islands like Kauai, Oahu, and Maui.
Carnival’s 2026 to 2027 season boasts a wide range of US ports from Norfolk, Port Canaveral, Miami, and San Francisco to Galveston, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida, Tampa, and Mobile, Alabama.
