Mist-Clad Avalon – Baja from Los Angeles

About this cruise

4 nights from Los Angeles, visiting Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. It sails August 23, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." 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. Santa Catalina Island alone is worth the trip, An island escape just off the California coast. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Carnival Radiance, 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 timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
