When we talk about cruising from Los Angeles, fyi: we’re talking about cruises from Long Beach. A short drive from LA is where you’ll find this seaside Southern California city that’s inseparable from its big-city neighbor, while undeniably moving to its own local beat. Dotted with dozens of parks, beaches and multiple public golf courses (fore times five!), Long Beach also boasts perhaps the world’s most unique hotel — located aboard the old-time ocean liner The Queen Mary (which is haunted, or so go the rumors). You can experience it before one of Carnival’s cruises from Long Beach, but definitely don’t miss the glitzy, big-city Los Angeles — the right place to experience the left-coast life. Take in the storied sights of this City of Angels, from its modern museums and high-end shopping to its funky seaside towns and star-studded SoCal sights dotting the hills and boulevards. Hollywood — hooray! So if you’re dreaming about a cruise from Los Angeles, remember: Carnival’s cruises from Long Beach are just the ticket.

• Climb aboard the Queen Mary, a glamorous 1930s ocean liner.

• Find your favorite star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

• Stroll through the art and antiquities of the Getty Center®.

• Take the backlot tour of Universal Studios™ for a look at Hollywood mythmaking.

• Gaze into the starry night sky through the Griffith Observatory's® giant telescope.

Discover a sunny Southern California playground hidden beyond the Los Angeles horizon, on a Carnival cruise to Catalina Island. Just 22 miles from the mainland, Catalina Island has long been a getaway for savvy city hikers, sun-seekers… and film crews looking for a slice of accessible paradise. Access the breathtaking views from up high on the island’s rugged cliffs, or way down low as you snorkel or scuba the Pacific Ocean waters at Avalon Beach. Cruises to Catalina Island give you a rare opportunity to see California as it once was — from the seaside town of Avalon and tiny Two Harbors, to the undeveloped parkland of Catalina’s interior.

• While the time away with wild buffalo, on Catalina Island’s interior roads.

• Snorkel through thick kelp forests at Casino Point Marine Park. 

• Glide into protected coves and hidden beaches by kayak.

Thanks to its stunning coastline, Ensenada will give you plenty of postcard-worthy moments…, and it couldn’t be easier to get there. Escape to Mexico’s original seaside getaway with Carnival cruises to Ensenada. Once a favorite hideaway for high-rolling Hollywood stars, Ensenada is now one of Mexico’s most popular ports of call. You can sightsee, shop or kayak at Punta Banda… but the true pleasures of this festive city are culinary. That’s why a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico should top every foodie’s wish list. Have your fill of fresh oysters and sip a rich Baja merlot. Soak up the richness of the local culture as you enjoy the journey.

• Try unique Baja cuisine in Ensenada, the region's seafood and culinary capital.

• Shop for silver jewelry and handmade pottery on Avenida López Mateos.

• Watch the sea spout at La Bufadora burst from the rocks on Punta Banda.

No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
