Baja Bit – Ensenada from Los Angeles
About this cruise
Book 4 days off from January 3, 2028 and this cruise from Los Angeles will do the rest, taking you to Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada and back. The mix of 2 days ashore and 1 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. Craft coffee in one port, old-growth forest in the next. The West Coast has its own rhythm. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Santa Catalina Island, An island escape just off the California coast. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Carnival Radiance, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
