Carnival Radiance has returned to service in Long Beach following a 15-day dry dock at the Seaspan shipyard in Victoria, Canada, where the ship underwent a series of enhancements to its guest areas and onboard facilities.

Guests boarding on October 3rd were the first to experience the completed work, which included a renewed Effy jewelry boutique and refreshed spaces across the ship’s interior and open-deck areas. Carnival Radiance also returned to service with CCL-Carnival Cruise Line’s new “From Sea to Shining Sea” bow crest, introduced as a visual representation of the cruise line’s American identity.

Following the dry dock, Carnival Radiance resumed its year-round program from Long Beach. The ship operates 4- and 5-day cruises to Baja Mexico and the Mexican Riviera, with itineraries including calls at Ensenada and Catalina Island. The program also includes selected 14-day Carnival Journeys sailings to Hawai‘i.
