About This Cruise
The 5 Night Mexican Riviera is a 5-night round-trip itinerary aboard Carnival Radiance. You board and return in Los Angeles, calling at 3 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in California (Los Angeles), Mexico (Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada) and California (Los Angeles).
Because it's round-trip from Los Angeles, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
