Carnival Panorama Sea Trials are Completed in the Adriatic Sea
Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, Carnival Panorama, has successfully completed its sea trials in the Adriatic Sea.
Carnival Panorama will hold its inaugural cruise from Long Beach, Calif. on Dec. 11, 2019. This will be the first new ship that Carnival has homeported on the west coast in 20 years.
Currently in the final stages of construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy, Carnival Panorama sea trials brought a full contingent of officers, technicians and engineers on board to test the ship’s sophisticated technical, mechanical and navigation systems.
“Carnival Panorama is a wonderful addition to the fleet and she passed all of her maneuvers and tests with flying colors. We can’t wait to welcome guests aboard this beautiful ship,” said Carnival Panorama Captain Carlo Queirolo.
