Pacific Paces – Avalon & Ensenada from L.A.

About this cruise

4 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Los Angeles on July 13, 2026 visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada and you'll feel it from day one. It splits nicely: 2 days seeing places and 1 days doing nothing at all. San Francisco's Golden Gate to the Pacific Northwest. The scenery keeps changing. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Quantum Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 4-night sailing is a strong place to start.
