Sun-Drenched Pacific – Catalina & Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

You leave Los Angeles on December 7, 2026 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. It splits nicely: 2 days seeing places and 1 days doing nothing at all. 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. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. You start in Los Angeles and come back with stories from United States and Mexico.
