Taco Route – Baja Coast from Los Angeles

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Los Angeles on April 27, 2026 for 4 nights visiting 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 Radiance takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Los Angeles and come back with stories from United States and Mexico.
