Saltwater Sip – Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

Book 3 days off from December 28, 2026 and this cruise from Los Angeles will do the rest, taking you to Ensenada and back. In between port days, the 1 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. Craft coffee in one port, old-growth forest in the next. The West Coast has its own rhythm. Ensenada alone is worth the trip, Baja wine country with a surf town soul. There are 11 restaurants on Carnival Firenze, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 3 nights. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Worth booking. That's the short version.
