Baja Bound – Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

Book 3 days off from May 1, 2026 and this cruise from Los Angeles will do the rest, taking you to Ensenada and back. In between port days, the 1 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. 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 Ensenada, Baja wine country with a surf town soul. Carnival Radiance keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
