Cliffside Cadence – Baja & Avalon
About this cruise
Book 4 days off from February 14, 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 Ensenada, Baja wine country with a surf town soul. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Radiance takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. And a February 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.
