Baja Salt Spray – Catalina & Ensenada from Los Angeles

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Los Angeles on November 30, 2026, visiting Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. With 1 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. Pacific coastline, tall trees, and laid-back cities. The West Coast route has range. Of the stops, Ensenada tends to be the one people talk about: Baja wine country with a surf town soul. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Firenze keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
