Carnival Radiance Resumes Service After Dry Dock
The Carnival Cruise Line ship began an eight-night Mexican Riviera sailing from Long Beach on October 3, 2026.
Carnival Radiance returned to service on October 3, 2026, departing from Long Beach, California, for an eight-night cruise to the Mexican Riviera. The sailing followed a dry dock that included routine maintenance and several updates to the ship.
Carnival Cruise Line added its new bow crest during the dry dock. The design carries the company’s sea-to-shining-sea theme. Work also renewed the Effy jewelry boutique and refreshed guest spaces in interior sections and on open decks.
The ship currently operates primarily from Long Beach on four- and five-night cruises to Mexico. Carnival Radiance is scheduled to remain based at the California port through at least April 2029.
