Cactus & Cobalt Swell – Cabo, Loreto & Vallarta from LA

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from Los Angeles on April 9, 2026, visiting Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Loreto and Puerto Vallarta. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Emerald Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 10-night sailing is a strong place to start.
