Join us for Day 2 aboard the Carnival Radiance as we explore Catalina Island on our 4-night Mexican cruise! Our port day in Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California begins with a scenic tender boat ride to shore, where we stroll through the charming beachfront, pier, and local shops. We visit the historic Catalina Casino building, take in stunning views from Lee’s Scenic Overlook and the Catalina Chimes Tower, and hike to the beautiful Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden. After a day of adventure on Catalina Island, we return to the Carnival Radiance for a relaxing afternoon at sea, followed by an elegant formal dinner at the Sunset Restaurant Main Dining Room and an exciting live show at the Liquid Lounge theater.
