Dusty Road – Cabo San Lucas from Los Angeles

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Los Angeles on December 6, 2026 visits Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Los Angeles, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Cabo's beaches at one end, jungle-backed Central American ports at the other. Of the stops, Cabo San Lucas tends to be the one people talk about: Where the desert kisses the sea. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Encore keeps you well fed. 20 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
