Sun-Drenched Run – Catalina & Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

4 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Los Angeles on August 24, 2026 and visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada. That gives you 2 days in port and 1 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. 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 Firenze. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 4-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
