Blink of Kelp – 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 September 13, 2027, 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, Santa Catalina Island tends to be the one people talk about: An island escape just off the California coast. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 16 restaurants on Ovation Of The Seas, 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. 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.
