Pacific Salt Breeze – Catalina & Ensenada from LA
About this cruise
4 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Los Angeles on August 17, 2026 visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada and you'll feel it from day one. 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 Firenze takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 5 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. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 4-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
