Explore natural wonders onboard Quantum of the Seas
Just south of Los Angeles, you’ll discover a tiny slice of paradise. Natural conservation and ecological tourism is a huge motivator for Catalina Island cruise visitors hoping to find time in the great outdoors. Vehicles are largely restricted on the island, so cycling and hiking are incredibly popular for residents. Watch the boats float peacefully in the harbor at Green Pleasure Pier, then head inland to the Catalina Island Museum, where you’ll discover the history of the island from thousands of years ago to today.
Ensenada cruise port of call takes you to a colorful, exciting city where you can enjoy the bustle along its broad promenade, head into the quiet of wine country, or dive into local history and culture found at its museums. Aside from its cosmopolitan sights, Ensenada is also close to impressive natural wonders and long, sandy beaches. Ensenada is also home to the largest production of wine in Mexico, thanks to its proximity to the Guadalupe Valley.
If you’re looking for a beach experience during your time in Ensenada, Rosarito Beach is a great one to visit. Located a short distance south of Ensenada, this laidback beach town is perfect for sunbathing or doing water sports like surfing, bodyboarding, and kitesurfing.

Day 1 - Los Angeles, California
The trend-setting global metropolis of Los Angeles has it all. Get to know the Entertainment Capital of the World: Stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and take a drive down cinematic Sunset Boulevard. But there's a lot more to explore in LA than its star-studded heritage. Enjoy the 75 miles of coastline: Wander the famous canals of Venice Beach, or drive out to the more remote Malibu coast. Get your culture on at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, home to everything from ancient Islamic artifacts to contemporary American art. Or stretch your legs with a hike at Runyon Canyon Park — it offers great views of the surrounding hills and the iconic Hollywood sign.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
Buckle up and take the wheel for nonstop fun on the only bumper cars at sea. Rush hour gets a thrilling spin at the largest indoor activity space ever to set sail — SeaPlex®. The largest indoor active space at sea is only on Royal Caribbean®. Basketball and bumper cars — it's the first time you'll ever play like this on a cruise.
Grab your board and get ready for 30,000 gallons of rushing awesome headed your way. The surf’s always up on the 40-foot-long FlowRider® surf simulator.
Slip away to this adults-only indoor and outdoor retreat. The Solarium is your slice of paradise, with soothing whirlpools, warm sunshine and a refreshing water mist.
Day 3 - Catalina Island, California
Located off the coast of California, Catalina Island is a little paradise, perfect for a day of unwinding and exploring. Everything is within walking distance, so have fun with the family exploring the town of Avalon or grab your hiking shoes and hit the trails. If you're looking to relax by the seaside, head to Descanso Beach Club, which is considered the nicest beach on the island, or set sail on a catamaran to circle the island and take it all in. Skip stones at the pebbly Moonstone Beach or Starlight, or walk along the boardwalk as the sun begins to set. Head to the top of Mount Orizaba for some of the best views of the island, or spend the day exploring the 38-mile Trans Catalina Trail, a popular eco-activity for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds of fitness levels. With the help of the friendly resort vibe and beautiful nature, you won’t find it hard to unwind on Catalina Island.
Day 4 - Ensenada, Mexico
Exploring Ensenada, Mexico invites vibrant tastes and unforgettable adventures. Perched on the Pacific, there’s endless exhilaration waiting on either side of the gold, palm fringed shores of Estero and Mona Lisa beaches — whether you’re looking for bucket-list worthy boasts or authentic Baja flavors. Take to the water and watch for whales. Hike to the top of the towering waterfall of El Salto canyon. Or dive headfirst into the foodie-forward culture famous for its fish tacos and fresh ceviche. No matter what you’re craving, it’s all on the menu. La Bufadora is the name given to a huge blowhole located by Ensenada. At one of the largest blowholes in North America, watch as Pacific waves rush through a cave and up into the air every few minutes, sometimes with a blowhole fountain that reaches 100 feet high.
Day 5 - Los Angeles, California Los Angeles is one of the best destinations on earth for gay travelers. The population of West Hollywood is roughly 40% LGBT+, making it one of the gayest neighbourhoods on earth – arguably the gayest in any big city. Hollywood was always a magnet for bohemians and liberal minded people – long before being gay was legal. That made Los Angeles an appealing destination for LGBT+ Americans. There are many excellent gay bars and clubs in Los Angeles. The nightlife is pretty wild! LA is not just a plastic fantastic home to stars and aspiring actors; it’s also a major cultural destination. LA is a big city and it’s quite spread out, so it’s best to explore specific areas, such as WeHo and Little Venice.
