Luminous Trails – Catalina & Ensenada

About this cruise

Book 4 days off from January 24, 2027 and this cruise from San Diego 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. Serenade Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. If you can, add a night in San Diego before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a January 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.
