An assortment of Mexican gems awaits cruisers taking this voyage from San Diego around Baja California. Get in the holiday spirit with two relaxing days at sea as we head south to the port of Manzanillo, a destination favored by sea anglers for its marlin-rich waters – or just relax on the beach. Next, we call by Puerto Vallarta, a laid-back city known for warmly welcoming members of the LGBTQ+ community. At Mazatlán, dine on seafood, admire the French baroque architecture, and sit on the sands in the shade of the palm trees, while Cabo San Lucas is the place to watch whales put on a magnificent show in the early months of the year, when they visit this area to feed and breed. All too soon, it's time to head back to San Diego.

Manzanillo, Mexico

jan 02, 2027

9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Located on Mexico's Pacific coast, Manzanillo is a small city that derives its name from the manzanilla trees that thrived, laden with poisonous tangerine-colored fruit, beside its original wharves. Searching for Chinese treasure in the Pacific during 1522, Hernán Cortés and his minions dropped anchor in the Bay of Salagua, which is located just north of Manzanillo, while looking for safe harbors and good shipbuilding sites. Shortly thereafter navigator Alvaro de Saavedra discovered the Bay of Manzanillo and christened it Santiago de la Buena, or Santiago's Bay of Good Hope. It became a principal departure point for important expeditions and twice sheltered Cortes' galleons from marauding Portuguese pirates. Over the next 300 years, the Pacific Coast's history is filled with accounts of pirates from Portugal, England, France and even Spain assaulting, looting and burning ships for their rich cargos. In recent times, the harbor has been modernized and deepened to allow access to all major shipping lines from around the world.

4 EXCURSIONS

A charming and buzzing seaside town that offers traditional Mexican culture with a modern twist. Second only to Acapulco when it comes to the Mexican Riviera's leading resort cities, Puerto Vallarta is embraced by rugged tropical mountains on one side and the lovely Banderas Bay on the other. The city brims with life, with its bougainvillea-lined cobblestone streets, picturesque alleyways, luxury hotels and smart boutiques, and stunning seaside location. Shop for leather goods here as well as shell and silver jewelry, hand-embroidered blouses or painted figures from Oaxaca.

Mazatlan, Mexico

jan 04, 2027

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

A masterclass in reinvention, Mazatlán is a low-key Mexican resort on the Pacific with beaches as far as the eye can see, and a seemingly never-ending boardwalk running alongside the waves. Impressive landmarks in the sensitively revamped old town include the 19th-century Teatro Ángela Peralta and the towering Immaculate Conception Basilica. The historic center has been modernized and offers alluring bars and restaurants, as well as art galleries to browse. Don't miss the opportunity to taste classic handmade tequila at venerable blue agave plantations and small-scale distilleries.
