Carnival Panorama pairs round-trips from Long Beach, California, with a ship built for doing things, from cycling above the ocean on SkyRide to craft beer brewed on board. She is a Vista Class ship from Carnival Cruise Line, in service since 2019, and her sailings head south to the Mexican coast. Evenings bring live comedy and musical theatre, and an adults-only pool retreat keeps quieter afternoons close at hand.

Carnival Panorama’s most memorable meal is cooked in front of you at Bonsai Teppanyaki. You sit at the counter while chefs prepare seafood, meat and tofu specialities. It carries a cover charge and needs booking ahead, so it works best as a special night planned before you sail.
JiJi Asian Kitchen takes a broader view of Asia, drawing on regional techniques and traditions from across the continent, with à la carte pricing. For something more relaxed, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse & Brewhouse pairs smoky barbecue with craft beer brewed on board. Meals there are paid separately from the fare, while Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que serves slow-cooked barbecue and signature sauces included in the fare.
SkyRide is the venue that stands out on Carnival Panorama: stationary bikes positioned high above the ocean, giving riders unobstructed views as they pedal. It is free to use whenever you like, though some instructor-led classes and sessions carry an extra charge.
SportSquare is where she gets active, with basketball, volleyball, climbing and fitness challenges, all included in the fare. It gives teenagers and adults alike somewhere to burn off energy between port days.
Younger children aged 2 to 11 have Space Cruisers, a NASA-inspired play space developed with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat keeps a quiet pool corner for grown-ups. Both are included in the fare.
Carnival Panorama sails round-trips from Long Beach, California, along the USA West Coast and down into Mexican waters. The 5- and 6-night West Coast trips leave in December and January, in the heart of the British winter, and every one ends back where it began. Stops change between departures, but you might see Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada in Mexico.
She also has selected sailings on the Mexican Riviera, again starting and finishing in Long Beach. Every departure leaves from Long Beach, and we book the flights, a hotel either side and the transfers with your cruise as one holiday.
Her fellow Vista Class ships include Carnival Vista and Carnival Horizon, and the rest of the fleet is on our Carnival Cruise Line page.
Suites head Carnival Panorama’s cabin range. Her cabins and deck plans show what lies above and below yours before you book.
