Rapid Transit – Ensenada & Avalon
About this cruise
You leave Los Angeles on September 8, 2026 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Radiance has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 4-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
