17 Night Cruise from Los Angeles
About this cruise
The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 17 nights from Los Angeles on November 27, 2027, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Cartagena and Miami. You get off in Miami, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Mexican Riviera & Central America tour: 5 countries, from Mexico to United States. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliant Lady joined the Virgin Voyages's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. 17 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
