Baja Tide Dash – Catalina & Ensenada

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 9, 2026, visiting Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. 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 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Ovation Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 16 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. 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.
