Sunlit Swell – Catalina & Ensenada

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from San Francisco on September 10, 2026 visits Santa Catalina Island, Los Angeles, San Diego and Ensenada. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Craft coffee in one port, old-growth forest in the next. The West Coast has its own rhythm. People come back from this cruise talking about Los Angeles: Hollywood glamour and Pacific sunsets. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Ruby Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 4 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
