Carnival Panorama has successfully completed its sea trials in the Adriatic Sea ahead of its inaugural cruise from Long Beach, California, in December when it becomes Carnival’s first ship on the West Coast in 20 years.
Currently in the final stages of construction in Italy at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard, the ship has a full contingent of officers, technicians and engineers on board who thoroughly tested the ship’s technical, mechanical and navigation systems.

“Carnival Panorama is a wonderful addition to the fleet and she passed all of her manoeuvres and tests with flying colors. We can’t wait to welcome guests aboard this beautiful ship,” said its captain Carlo Queirolo.
As the newest ship in the fleet, Carnival Panorama will offer innovations such as the first Sky Zone trampoline park at sea and a new ChooseFun WaterWorks aqua park.
There will also be popular onboard venues like Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse Brewhouse, featuring BBQ favourites created by Food Network star and longtime partner Guy Fieri, and craft beers brewed on board.
The 133,500-ton ship’s accommodation choices include the tropics-inspired Havana area with colourful staterooms and its own Cuban-themed bar and pool; Family Harbor with extra-roomy staterooms and the Family Harbor Lounge; and Cloud 9 Spa staterooms with special amenities and privileges.
Following an inaugural three-day voyage to Ensenada, Carnival Panorama will launch year-round seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach on 14 December.
