Carnival Cruise Line has welcomed its 27th ship and the third vessel in the popular Vista class.
With this week's delivery of Carnival Panorama at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, Carnival Panorama will now head to Long Beach, California, for its naming ceremony and inaugural sailing in December.
"Carnival Panorama is the 16th ship built by Fincantieri for Carnival Cruise Line and once again, the skill and hard work of hundreds of talented craftspeople are on display here aboard the beautiful Carnival Panorama," said Christine Duffy, president of the Carnival Cruise Line. "Our guests absolutely love Carnival Vista and the Horizon, and we are certain they are going to love their sister, Carnival Panorama."
Carnival Panorama will launch year-round service from Long Beach, California on December 11, becoming the line's first new ship homeported on the West Coast in more than 20 years.
As the name implies, Carnival Panorama reflects design inspiration with more opportunities to connect with the sea. The ship features a number of innovations, including the first Sky Zone trampoline park at sea, as well as the first-in-fleet culinary studio where guests can participate in hands-on cooking classes, tastings and other food-related activities hosted by the ship's chefs.
A wide range of staterooms and suites will be available, including spa rooms with exclusive privileges at the luxurious Cloud 9 Spa, extra-spacious staterooms in Family Harbor and tropical-inspired Havana staterooms with access to a Cuban-themed bar and pool.
