Carnival Cruise Line®
Featured Destinations and Ships
Sail to Mexico on one of five Carnival ships and visit top spots across Mexico’s postcard-perfect Pacific coast such as Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and more ports on the popular Mexican Riviera.
Starting in 2025, Carnival Legend will sail roundtrip from San Francisco on a 4-night cruise along the west coast from May through August.
Sail on one of these new, unique ships—Carnival Venezia™ or Carnival Fiernze™—courtesy of Carnival's sister line, Costa Cruises. There’s new experiences inspired by Costa’s heritage, like exclusive Terrazza staterooms and great spots to sip like the Frizzante™ wine bar or fun frozen drink spot Rococó™… plus more great flavor in the form of Mex-Italian fusion at Tomodoro™ and elevated Italian classics at Il Viaggio.
Speaking of classics, you can also expect plenty of Carnival fan-faves among the onboard food, entertainment, and service.
Why sail with Carnival Cruise Line®?
All Carnival cruises go to great spots—what sets each ship apart is how it gets you there. Every Carnival Cruise Line ship features its own unique twist on Carnival-style fun.
Like to try new things?
Carnival Jubilee sails from Galveston and has six "zones" of fun with two new spaces, Currents™ and The Shores™. Sailing from Long Beach, Carnival Panorama features the first Sky Zone trampoline park at sea, and a first-in-fleet culinary studio where guests participate in hands-on cooking classes hosted by the ship's chefs. And Carnival Mardi Gras, sailing from Port Canaveral, features thrilling onboard fun like BOLT™, the first roller coaster at sea.
Cruisers aged 2-11 can experience Space Cruisers™— a partnership with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex — where young astronomy fans enjoy NASA-inspired activities.
Is there a foodie in you?
Step up to Big Chicken from Shaq at lunch or dinner for chicken sandwiches, chicken strips or juicy fried chicken baskets and sides like jalapeno slaw. Awaken and delight your inner foodie on a Carnival cruise with delicious main dishes, tempting desserts and general yumminess everywhere you look. Carnival Cruise Line partners with a number of celebrity chefs, including Shaw, Guy Fieri and Emeril Lagasse.
Guests can dine in Guy's Burger Joint or Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse on a number of ships. Enjoy Emeril's first and second ever restaurant at sea—Emeril's Bistro 1396™—on Mardi Gras and Celebration.
Looking for fun in the sun?
Longtime guest favorites include the Carnival WaterWorks aqua park; Sky Ride, a bike in the sky with breathtaking views; a suspended ropes course; Seuss at Sea™, bringing the colorful world of Dr. Seuss to life; and Camp Ocean, where kids ages 2–11 stay busy, keep active and have fun in supervised, age-based groups.
Enjoy the view and the sea breeze as you play pickleball, volleyball, basketball, and even mini golf.
All in for entertainment?
A Carnival cruise is all about fun for everyone. Enjoy live entertainment, endless onboard activities, bars, casino and more. Dive headfirst into the fun with mixologist competitions, cooking demonstrations, karaoke, poolside movies, live music, and more.
The Punchliner Comedy Club features some shows that are family-friendly and some adult-only. And the only place you'll find Family Feud at sea is on a Carnival cruise.
