Gaviota Trail – Avalon & Ensenada
About this cruise
You leave Los Angeles on August 9, 2027 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. The pace is well balanced: 1 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. San Francisco's Golden Gate to the Pacific Northwest. The scenery keeps changing. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, 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. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
