Sun-Drenched Wake – Catalina & Ensenada from LA

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Los Angeles on December 24, 2026 visits Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada and makes every day count. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. Pacific coastline, tall trees, and laid-back cities. The West Coast route has range. Of the stops, Ensenada tends to be the one people talk about: Baja wine country with a surf town soul. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Firenze keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
