Tidal Twitch – Catalina & Ensenada

About this cruise

It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 4 nights from Los Angeles on July 5, 2026, visiting 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, Carnival Radiance keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Los Angeles and come back with stories from United States and Mexico.
