Schedule Shifts, Alaska Security, and a New Ship

Carnival tweaks 14 Carnival Panorama sailings from Long Beach between August 2026 and March 2027 — mostly small departure and return-time shifts with revised Cabo San Lucas port calls — a reminder of how often the fine print of a booking changes. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings locks in its Seattle homeport through 2035 (with options to 2045), committing four ships and 70-plus calls plus aggressive decarbonization targets as Seattle heads for a record 2.1 million-passenger Alaska season. And Fincantieri delivers Viking Mira, the newest ocean ship in Viking's fleet, ahead of its June Mediterranean debut.
