Salt-Spray Sketch – Baja from Los Angeles

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 4 nights from Los Angeles, visiting Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada, sailing March 20, 2028, and nothing about it feels forced. With 2 port days and 1 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. Rugged coastline, sea fog rolling in, and cities that feel relaxed even when they're busy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Radiance. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
