Carnival’s Carnival Miracle will begin sailing year round to the Mexican Riviera from Long Beach, California beginning in October 2014.

According to Carnival, "The program will encompass three different week-long itineraries, including a new three-port, seven-day cruise featuring Mazatlan on the majority of departures. In addition to the call in Mazatlan, the new three-port itinerary will feature the stunning Mexican resort destinations of Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta.

The full day call at Mazatlan will provide guests with ample opportunities to explore this scenic seaside destination, which features world-class beaches and sportfishing, as well as the Malecon, an outdoor promenade lined with shops, restaurants, and centuries-old architectural structures."

Carnival Miracle’s year-round schedule from Long Beach includes two other itinerary options as well.

The first is a seven-day, two-port itinerary that features a stop in Cabo San Lucas, along with a two-day overnight stay in Puerto Vallarta.

While in Puerto Vallarta, guests can explore this tropical paradise known for its beautiful beaches, excellent diving, and sizzling nightlife. The second alternate itinerary includes a visit to Puerto Vallarta, along with a two-day call at Cabo San Lucas, known for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and the distinctive El Arco (The Arch,) a 30-foot-high rock formation where the Pacific Ocean joins the Sea of Cortez.
