About Carnival Radiance
Carnival Radiance is a mid-sized Carnival ship operating from Long Beach, with a lively mix of dining, water attractions, family programming and nightlife. A 2021 bow-to-stern refurbishment added popular Carnival venues including Big Chicken, Guy’s Burger Joint, Cucina del Capitano and expanded entertainment spaces. Its 13 passenger decks and 1,492 staterooms offer a more manageable onboard experience than Carnival’s newest mega-ships, while still providing activities for families, couples and groups.
