Turbid Track – Avalon & Ensenada

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 4 nights from Los Angeles, visiting Santa Catalina Island and Ensenada, sailing June 7, 2026, and nothing about it feels forced. 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, There are 13 restaurants on Carnival Radiance, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 4-night sailing is a strong place to start.
