Ports of Call:

 

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Whether you're seeking quality beach time or action-packed adventures, a cruise to Puerto Vallarta delivers the vacation you've been craving. Reigning over Banderas Bay and bordered by the tropical forests of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Puerto Vallarta, is both a modern beach resort and an eco-adventure launch pad. Dive with manta rays, spot playful dolphins, or trek through the jungle to hidden waterfalls. Explore contemporary Latin American art and soak in the charm of this breezy seaside city!

 

Mazatlan, Mexico

Go from the opera house to the lighthouse with Carnival cruises to Mazatlán, Mexico. This city’s 17-mile-long beach has rolling swells for surfers and calm waters for swimmers. Thatch-roofed shacks serve the freshest seafood and beach bars pour crisp cervezas with lime. Venture beyond the coastline to experience the charming colonial core of Viejo Mazatlán, complete with ornate churches and photogenic Spanish mansions.

 

La Paz, Mexico

Sail into the stunning Sea of Cortez with Carnival cruises to La Paz, Mexico! The breezy capital of Baja California Sur sits on a peaceful bay of rocky islands and secluded sandy beaches. Just below the surface, spirited sea lions and gentle whale sharks swim alongside adventurous snorkelers. Discover the vibrant underwater life of what author Jacques Cousteau once labeled the “world’s aquarium” when you visit La Paz.

 

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

If you’re looking for a beautiful cruise destination to call your own, cruises to Cabo San Lucas should be at the top of your list. You’ll return home with spectacular vacation photos that get all the Likes! Tucked between golf courses and desert mountains, Cabo San Lucas straddles two oceans - the calm turquoise Sea of Cortez and the crashing blue Pacific. With 18 pristine miles of coastline connecting your port to colonial San José del Cabo, you get two seaside cities in one on a Cabo San Lucas cruise. But, along with water-based activities like fishing, paddling and swimming, you can also add action, or maximum relaxation, to your itinerary. Cruises to Cabo San Lucas offer a huge variety of things to do, from riding ATVs in the desert to sipping margaritas on the beach. Try one or try it all!

Carnival Panorama

 

This ship packs all the best, most delicious fun from her sister ships Carnival Vista® and Carnival Horizon®, but still manages to stand out. One example: it’s easy to stand out when you’re literally flying, and Carnival Panorama has the only Sky Zone™ trampoline park you’ll find at sea. That’s not the only way to catch some air, either, because this ship also features SkyRide®, a pedal-powered suspended bike experience that’ll have you enjoying wide, breezy views of the ocean. Plus there’s a ropes course, mini-golf and WaterWorks™ waterpark, of course!

 

It’s not all action, though, because relaxation options like Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™ are on the menu. Great dining is too, with choices that range from the refined fare of Bonsai Teppanyaki™ and Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse to come-as-hungry-as-you-are classics like BlueIguana Cantina™, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse and Seafood Shack™. (And at Guy’s, the brews are as fresh as the food, all of which are made on board.) Havana Bar & Pool are there to give you a bit of that “90 miles south” flavor and flair, with matching stateroom options that keep you close to the action all cruise long.

 

There’s traditional Carnival fun too, and these fan-favorites are great news for everybody! Playlist Productions™ take songs you know and make high-energy crowd-pleasing shows out of them. Dive-In Movies makes a big production out of the big screen over the pool, plus The Punchliner Comedy Club™ features family-friendly shows… and, uh, late-night shows.
