First cruise ship to depart from California in over a year sets sail for Mexican Riviera

A cruise ship headed for the Mexican Riviera set sail from the Port of Long Beach on Saturday — the first cruise ship to depart from California in 17 months.

The Carnival Panorama is on a seven-day voyage and will stop in the Mexican ports of Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan before returning to Long Beach, Carnival Corp. said in a statement. The 1,060-foot Carnival Panorama debuted in 2019.
