Los Angeles (including the Port of San Pedro and Long Beach) is a massive cruise hub featuring several major lines in 2026. Carnival Cruise Line is the most dominant player, with ships like the Carnival Firenze, Radiance, and Panorama offering year-round trips to the Mexican Riviera and Baja. Royal Caribbean frequently sails the Navigator of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas on 3- to 7-night itineraries. For those looking for more premium or long-haul experiences, Princess Cruises (with the Royal Princess and Emerald Princess) and Norwegian Cruise Line (Norwegian Bliss) offer sailings to Hawaii, the Panama Canal, and Alaska. In April 2026, Virgin Voyages will also begin service from the West Coast with the Brilliant Lady. Additionally, the Port of Long Beach serves as the exclusive "home" for Carnival's massive West Coast operation, while San Pedro handles most other major international brands.
