Carnival Cruise Line will offer more options from Long Beach, Calif., beginning in May 2025, including calls in Mexico's Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz and Ensenada.

Itineraries for six-day voyages will call in Ensenada with two days in Cabo San Lucas. Eight-day sailings will call in Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
The Carnival Radiance will sail alternating three- and four-night cruises to Ensenada. Sailings departing on Fridays will call at Ensenada, with four-day cruises calling in Ensenada and Catalina Island.
