A huge new Princess ship along with two Norwegian Cruise Line vessels will begin sailing to the Mexican Riviera this fall.
Panorama will be the first new ship to homeport in Southern California in more than two decades. It will be a full-time resident, said Christine Duffy, president of“What I think is unique is that the ship will become a fixture at the port, which 60% of California’s residents can drive to within five hours or less,” she said.
“It will be the only ship sailing seven-day cruises to the Mexican Riviera year-round out of California.” Panorama, which cost $780 million and can carry 4,000 passengers, successfully completed its sea trials in mid-July in the Adriatic. Its inaugural cruise — now sold out — will leave Dec. 11 from Long Beach for a three-day trip to Ensenada, Mexico.
The 1,055-foot ship will then sail weeklong voyages to Mexico beginning Dec. 14, visiting Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlán.“This is huge news not only for Long Beach, but for West Coast travelers as a whole,” said Colleen McDaniel, senior executive editor of“Port cities constantly vie to be the home of brand new ships, and cruise lines pour in a ton of research and strategizing when deciding on ship deployment.
