Pacific Salt Spray – Catalina & Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

Book 4 days off from November 23, 2026 and this cruise from Los Angeles 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. Of the stops, Ensenada tends to be the one people talk about: Baja wine country with a surf town soul. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Firenze keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
